WASHINGTON —
There will be one school board race in Daviess County and voters in Washington will decide among three with school board experience.
Former school board member Randy Bouchie will try to earn his Washington School Board at-large seat back from either Vicki Bubalo or Mike Traylor in the Nov. 6 election. Bubalo and Traylor will also seek re-election for a second term on the board. In 2008, the two defeated Bouchie and Rocki Padgett for the board seats.
The two at-large seats are the only ones voters will decide as every other school board race is uncontested, where the incumbents will win another term.
In Washington, Peg Stephens is unopposed for a second term representing District 1 on the school board. She won election four years ago against Ron Arnold.
In Montgomery, Galen Graber will earn his eighth term on the Barr-Reeve School Board as he runs unopposed. Four years ago, he won a contested race against local firefighter Dwayne Murphy. Graber represents District 1 on the three-person board and his seat is the only one up for election in 2012. His two counterparts, Joe Cummings and Scott Lottes, won in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The North Daviess School Board has three spots up for election and all three are unopposed. Darin Holder will again represent District 2. Four years ago, he won re-election against two other candidates.
Robin Dove is unopposed in District 3. He was unopposed four years ago, as was Thomas Nugent, at-large member. Nugent is unopposed this election as well.
