The Marietta Daily Journal – Thayer School board seat is ready for a change

SMYRNA — Susan Thayer says she isn’t criticizing her opponent, but she feels she’s best prepared to lead her area on the Cobb Board of Education for the next four years.

“I’m not critiquing his performance. I’m just saying I think I could give our system good representation for our area,” Thayer said.

Thayer, a consultant with James Wilson’s Education Planners, hopes to win southeast Cobb’s Post 2 seat on the county school board. To do so, she’ll have to unseat incumbent Tim Stultz in the Republican runoff July 22. The winner faces Democrat Kenya Pierre Nov. 4.

She and Stultz advanced from the May 20 Republican primary into the runoff, leaving behind Wells Fargo lending officer Jeff Abel.

“Stultz took 33 percent of the vote, which means 67 percent of the voters wanted a change on the board,” Thayer said.

Abel has officially endorsed Thayer.
