Billy Hendrix of Emerson Drive filed to run for the seat earlier today, according to the Iredell County Elections Office. Hendrix is challenging incumbent Thurman Houston's bid for re-election.
Ward 1 incumbent Mitch Abraham, as of the close of business today, is running unopposed for his seat. Filing ends Aug. 12.
So far, four candidates - Raymond R. Gordner III, Dawn Huston, William H. Washburn III and James Snyder - have filed for the board's at-large seat which is being vacated by Miles Atkins. Atkins and political newcomer Jared Esselman will vie for the mayor's seat.
The four candidates for the at-large seat will force a primary in that race; the primary will be held Oct. 11. The two top vote getters in that election will advance to the Nov. 8 general election.

I would encourage everyone to look very seriously at voting in new blood. Mr. Houston does NOT return phone calls. He may think he is a shoo-in because he is the incumbent. I think we need to throw all the bums out. We need to clean house in this town. No more of the business as usual. We can't afford it.
