County Commissioner Race - 5th District

I had mentioned earlier that I was hearing about three potential candidates for the 5th district. The two Republican names are Tom McWilliams and Robert Hodge. Tom has run in the past twice for county commissioner and once for a school board seat. He has been very active in the county and is well liked by many. But for some reason that has not gotten him the votes needed to be elected. Robert Hodge, chairman of the Republican Central Committee is a local businessman who has been very active politically behind the scenes. I believe that he will get the support of the local businesses. The other potential candidate that I have been hearing about is Democrat Robert McKnight, the mayor of North East.
