West Cobb School Board Post 1: Veteran and Educator vs. a Ghost Candidate
In the Cobb School Board Post 1, (North Cobb, Allatoona and Kennesaw Mountain high schools), northwest Cobb voters have a choice between retired educator and school board Chairman Randy Scamihorn and a woman who maybe resides here in the area but teaches all the way over in Alabama, hours away. Randy served 26 years in the U.S. Air Force, then became an educator and served admirably in a variety of community roles. His opponent is running for a second time in my post yet has never introduced herself. We know very little about her. Most important, parents hear this: Scamihorn’s reelection this year is crucial to keeping our schools among the best in the nation. Do NOT leave your school board post unmarked in the ballot booth.
