I hope we can get Danny Turner on the school board because he is a man of honesty, integrity and sound judgement, as well as being friendly and approachable.

I am glad to see Mr. Turner pursue the school board post. I have known Danny for many years and I think he will be a great asset to this seat. GO DANNY!!!!!

I think Tom Rauch should run for Commission Chair. I don't always agree with him but I think he would be a good chairman. Afterall, it's impossible to agree with everything.

How about it Tom; isn't it time to step up to the plate? I believe you can win!

I think Tom's heart is in the right place but he wouldn't have a chance in h*ll beating Jay.

Just think how long the meetings would last if Tom was elected, his post on here go on forever.

This is great news. Danny will do a great job.

Ryran Traylor is a good, honest, intelligent man and would be a great, much needed asset to our schools.

Ryan Christopher are you not running? You have a done a great job. Sorry to see you leave. If you aren't in it I will pull for Ryran. We need some young folks on the board. People that have children in the school system.

Danny has two kids in the system as well. Not saying Ryran wouldn't make a good board member, just wanted to make sure everyone knows that Danny will have the interest of the kids as well.

Hmmmm.....maybe?

Ryran will put the kids first in all decisions. He is a great candidate for school board.

I know Danny from years ago, he is going to be great for the school board. I dont really know Traylor, wish someone would refresh my memory. Has Traylor always been a Lamar Countian?

Yes..Mr. and Mrs. Traylor have lived in Barnesville all their lives. His wife was nominated as volunteer of the year and definitely deserved it.
#12.1.1 lobo on 04/29/10 at 05:42 PM
I have lived in Barneville all my life going on 56 years and heard of him. I do find it is strange for him to be running under a Republican ticket. I guess the liberals are avoiding the Dem ticket like the plague now that Obama is in.

you've only heard of him and call him liberal?

Ryran graduated from LCCHS. He was the quarterback for the FB team and a good student. He went off to school and worked elsewhere for a while but came home to raise his family! I was very excited when he decided to return to the community because he is a great and caring young man that has been an asset to the community. His wife is wonder and is more than great at what she does. This is not a love fest...but an honest assessment.

As for having kids in the school system. The Traylor's have one in the system already and one that is too young. Mrs. Traylor works for the school system and is an asset to this community as well. Both would be great but I must say that if I was able to vote in that district Ryran would get it. Good luck to you both!

Danny has two kids in the school system as well. One is in high school, and one is in the middle school. His wife is the after-school director at the primary school, and she is also is currently pursuing a teaching degree. Danny also served on the school board years ago. He has two older children who went all through Lamar County schools.

Personally, I think either of them would do a fine job.
#15 anon1 on 05/02/10 at 09:36 PM
I am friends with Danny but the kid, Traylor is going to win. When I saw his name hit the list, I considered that race over. He's a winner and has been all his life, I don't see that changing now.

I believe both of these candidates would be do a great job. If there is one thing that concerns me, its the fact that Danny is the son of our past school board member who in my opinion was extremely controversial. It almost seemed like she was trying to get the school in trouble. I know that he's not his mom, but I know for a fact that he agreed with most of her decision.
#16.1 Anonymous on 05/06/10 at 07:39 PM
Yep he will do the exact same. Vote Traylor. A true republican.
#17 confused on 05/07/10 at 05:29 PM
Wasnt Danny a democrat last time?
