Ron Crist withdrew from the race after a challenge to his candidacy.
Following a challenge made to his credentials for candidacy, Ron Crist dropped out of the race for a Paulding County School Board seat, according to Deidre Holden, supervisor of Paulding County Elections & Voter Registration, who spoke to Dallas-Hiram Patch just after 4 p.m. today. Crist had challenged District 3’s Kim Cobb; both had qualified as Republicans during last month’s qualifying period.
