Elaine Davis Comes Up Short and Will NOT be on the Ballot

Former Appointed County Commissioner Elaine Davis turned in a petition with 31 signatures. Of the 31 signatures only 21 were valid. In order to be a qualified candidate you must have 25 valid signatures. Meaning that Davis is an unqualified candidate and will not appear on the ballot. That leaves Republican Jeff Ownby unopposed in the Republican primary and Democrat Finbarr Saunders unopposed in the Democrat primary. So in August the district will chose between Conservative Republican Ownby or Liberal Democrat Saunders.
