County seats being contested

Only two of the six seats available in the Ware County in the Primary Election in May will be contested after the close of qualifying last week.

Jonathan Daniell and Raylan Guy filed to challenge incumbent Timothy Lucas for the District 3 seat on the Ware County Commission. The only other challenge came from Dee Meadows for the Ware County Board of Education’s District 6 seat currently held by Brandi Waters, who earned the seat four years ago by defeating incumbent Meadows.

Incumbents for three of the other four posts qualified, but will be unopposed May 19. They were District 1 Commissioner Leonard Burse and board of education members Rusty Ganas in District 4 and Wendell Bagwell in District 5.
