Fulton County

races are contested in the primary.

The District 5 Democratic primary pits Louise Radloff, the longest serving school board member in the state, against newcomer Tarece Johnson.

Johnson, who has never held office, has a doctorate degree in education from Capella University. There are no Republicans running for the District 5 seat.

Incumbent Republican Mary Kay Murphy will face Democratic challenger Tanisha Banks in the general election District 3 race.

Three of the school board’s seven seats are up for election this year, but only two are contested.

The elections are nonpartisan. In District 3, incumbent Gail Dean faces Jimmy Glenn.

The race for District 4 is open because current school board vice president Linda Bryant decided not to run for reelection. Three candidates are battling for her seat. They are Willie Davis Jr., Franchesca Warren and Sandra Wright. If no candidate receives a majority of votes, the top two will proceed to an Aug. 11 runoff election.

School board member Katha Stuart is running unopposed in the District 1 race.
