UPDATED: Full List of Qualifying Candidates for Decatur City Commission/School Board
Decatur Metro | September 1, 2015 | 4:51 pm
UPDATE: Yeah, so qualifying is actually still open until Wednesday afternoon. My bad. Up above is the updated list with additions highlighted in yellow. Guess we’ll receive a final one of these tomorrow.
Decaturish reminds us that qualifying just closed OPENED! for the November election. So here’s the full CURRENT! list of candidates by district, courtesy of the city.
Looks like every open seat will have two contenders and Scott Drake will have an opponent for his District 1 seat. We’re still waiting for formal announcements from three of these candidates and will post them once if/when we receive them.
Qualifying goes until Wednesday, September 2 @ 4:30 pm. You guys jumping the gun?
Somewhere it was posted that City of Decatur only has 3 days of qualifying instead of the 5 allowed by the state. But just because it was posted, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Qualifying does end Wednesday..
Whoops! You can tell I’m the parent of a small child, because I have no concept of the date.
How can you tell what district you live in?

Questions:
1) There’s just one contender for District 1 School Board, right? The incumbent, Garrett Goebel, right?
2) Garrett’s first name is really Christopher?
3) Why isn’t Scott Drake for District 1 Commissioner listed?
1) Yes, for now.
2) Yes
3) Scott Drake isn’t listed because he hasn’t qualified yet, would be my assumption. The last day of qualifying is tomorrow.
Wait. Is it too late for me to qualify? Damn. Another two years of Steve telling me to shut up about any City issues because I didn’t run for office. #citizenfail
You have until 4:30.
Scott Drake qualified this morning.
As did Eric Tumperi, also for District 1.
Wow ! Contested races for all but one seat (as of right now). Doesn’t happen often in Decatur.
Now, folks, get out and vote in November and see if we can get more than 20% of the electorate to the polls.
