Aren’t city council and board of education every two years? They just elected them last year
The election in November will have the appointed members of the Board of Education and Louisa City Council running for unexpired terms. Anyone who wants to run for the City Council needs to register by June 6. Keith Chaffin and Coty Rowe were appointed by city council when Tom Parsons and Ashley Caudill resigned shortly after being elected and Heath Preston resigned earlier this year and moved to the Cincinnati area.
Craft has put up more signs than votes collected but that’s a billionaire they just write it off on their taxes.
