2010 Political Chat

Ponder school district officials said that one additional person filed to run in the Place 7 school board race this May.
Unable to be reached by phone Monday to verify all the candidates who filed for the school board elections, Assistant Superintendent Chance Allen confirmed Tuesday that Scott McCarty, a 47-year-old operations supervisor filed March 5, to contest 43- year-old deputy constable Wayne Bengston, and 38-year-old home builder Cory Anthony in the May 8 race. One of the three candidates will replace trustee Eric Brooks who will serve on the board through May. Brooks, district officials said, was ineligible file for re-election because he's moved out of the district.
Place 6 trustee Chris Lyles, who's served on the board since 2002, is unopposed.
