I did not realize that I was no longer in Brooks Coleman's district until he told me yesterday morning just prior to going in to vote. :( Even though I'm in the city limits of Duluth, I am now in Rice's district. How many other Duluthians were affected?

I am no longer in Brooks Coleman's district either. I was happy to vote for Jen Falk for school board.

To who ever sets up the Election Rooms: The set up, in the Hall of the Voting areas need improvements. No room for people to pass, it needs organitization Pronto, before the November 2012. Too small of areas for the Voters, people are too close and there is no room for more than 10 people. We need a better plan, PLEASE!!

I'm so happy that more than 5,000 Republicans chose to 'not vote' for Mary Kay Murphy- it's time for a change in leadership - and children MUST come before politics! Everyone will have their chance to vote for Jen Falk Nov. 6th and this Republican (and her husband) are voting for Jen!

I am a republican that can not wait to vote for Jen Falk in November.
Check out her blogs on how the current school board is spending our money. I think you will find it interesting. VoteJenFalk.Com
Give the kids of Gwinnett the BEST schools and others will move here in droves. When they come, homes will be sold, tax revenues will increase and our economy will get a jump start. Demand the best education for our kids and good things will follow.
