State School Board race for District 1 seems to be headed for the general election


Rev. Kenyon Berry who is an ordained Elder with the local A.O.H Church of God, Inc. in headquartered in Mobile, AL and the Asst. Director of Brokered Transportation has qualified as a democrat for the post, on Wednesday the State Republican Party has verified that current Board Representative Randy McKinney will seek re-election no other republican or democrat has express interest in this race as of today, it may change on tomorrow as qualifying comes to an end.

We expect this to be a heated race on the local level between the two over the proposed oversight takeover attempt by the legislature, the double dipping ban and the handling of the Bishop State Community College situation. McKinney just lost a recent special election to fill a vacant Senate Seat 32 left open by Bradley Byrne of Montrose in 2007, in that race McKinney was back by the Gov. Riley but it didn’t pull any weight. We will watch to see if this race turns into a tossup.
