Dennis Marks notes that VSU-TV’s rebroadcasts of the
AAUW Forum of 15 Sep 2009
will include the two-minute statements of unopposed candidates who
showed up. Those are not in the LAKE videos of the event which are already on YouTube, but pretty much everything else is.

Willie T. Head, the incumbent, is not running,
but five other people other are:
David G. DeMersseman, David L. Dempsey, Rodney R. Flucas, Deidra A. White, and Dr. L. W. Williams.
