www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Five candidates are vying to fill Everton Blair’s seat on the Gwinnett County Board of Education, while Steve Knudsen will face a single challenger.
The field of candidates for the two school board seats up for election was established at the end of the qualifying period last week.
In past years, most candidates would spend March, April and May gearing up for a party primary. But this year, there are no primaries because of new legislation that made Gwinnett’s school board elections nonpartisan.
That means ballots won’t have any signifiers of candidates’ political parties. So the candidates will be pursuing support from all eligible voters in their respective districts for a general election that will be May 24 rather than Nov. 8.
