At-large field grows to 7

The field of four candidates seeking Mooresville's at-large commissioner seat just grew to seven. 


Robert “Skip” Alexander, Bobby Compton and David Roueche will join Raymond R. Gordner III, Dawn Huston, James Snyder and William H. Washburn II on the Oct. 11 primary ballot. The two top vote getters in that election will advance to the Nov. 8 general election.


Alexander ran unsuccessfully for Iredell County Sheriff last year, and David Roueche ran  unsuccessfully in 2005 for the Town of Mooresville's Ward 4 seat. 


The at-large seat is currently occupied by Miles Atkins who is running for mayor. Also on the ballot for mayor is Jared Esselman. 


Eddie Dingler will challenge incumbent Mitch Abraham for commissioner of Ward 1, while Billy Hendrix will vie against incumbent Thurman Houston in Ward 2.


Filing ends tomorrow at noon.

I did know till last night that Eddie Dingler who owns Shop N Save is the candidate that is running for Commissioner against Abraham.
He is a very fiendly person and very out going and apparently is a good bussiness man to have and maintain such a thriving busines.Just the man we need in office.
I did not vote for Abraham last time and I know that this election my family is voting for Dingler.

Bob Compton left his first wife and children for the woman that lived across the street. He is married to that woman now. He went to jail because he did not want to pay child support. He has nothing to do with his children,(his choice), and has grandchildren he does not care to know. That is just a little info on Bobby Compton.
