Democrat Tonya Chestnut faces Republican David Perry in single contested Alabama SBOE race
The single competitive race on the Alabama State Board of Education this year will feature an incumbent seeking her second term on the board and a Republican challenger.
Democrat Tonya Chestnut, currently representing District 5 on the board, faces Republican nominee David Perry, a pastor and community activist.
The district, taking in most of Alabama’s Black Belt, is expected to lean Democratic.
Chestnut, one of two Democrats on a Republican-controlled board, said that one of her priorities is continued focus on struggling readers, especially those beyond third grade.
