There are three contestants for seat two – Lawrence Helms, Dean Hunter and L.A. Overcash. The seat represents the schools in the southern area of the district, including South Rowan High School, Corriher-Lipe Middle School and China Grove, Enochville, Landis and Millbridge elementary schools.
The district’s western schools are covered by seat four. Travis Allen and Kay Wright Norman have filed for the seat that represents West Rowan middle and high schools and Cleveland, Hurley, Mount Ulla and Woodleaf elementary schools.
