I would like to thank the voters of Fayette County who supported my bid for election to the Board of Education Post 2, especially my wife Julie and son Brad who devoted their summer to my campaign. My congratulations to the two candidates who will face each other in the Aug. 8 runoff, Kim Gatlin and Terri Smith.

I would encourage the voters who supported my candidacy to vote for Kim Gatlin on Aug. 8 as I feel she has the knowledge of the issues facing the board in the next four years. Thank you.

Don Apking
