HD 22’s 1st Candidate to Qualify
Democrat Butch Taylor is the first candidate to qualify for the HD 22 vacancy created by the death of Rep. Albert Hall. Taylor looks to be a strong candidate as he is president of the Madison County Board of Education and hails from New Hope, the largest community in the district. (Though he did not tour with the Dave Matthews Band.)
The Republicans did not field a candidate against Hall in his re-election bid, but expect them to compete for the open seat.
Qualifying ends December 8, and the primary election will be January 23.
