EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one in a series of stories about contested races in the August Hamilton County general election.

The Aug. 7 election may seem like deja vu for District 8 residents.

Republican Commissioner Tim Boyd will face Democrat Kenny Smith just as he did in 2010. But this time, the contest will be head to head.

In 2010, Boyd won 48 percent of the vote to Smith’s 42 percent. Independent candidate Terry Turner took 2 percent.

Boyd says not much has changed in four years.
