Womack Runoff Challenger: Voters Want 'New Leadership'

"A majority of voters voted for non-incumbents," DeKalb school board District 4 candidate Jim McMahan said. "People wanted some new leadership … going forward, I hope for a similar outcome."

School board District 4 voters will go to the polls next week to cast a vote for Paul Womack or Jim McMahan.

Those voters will either get someone – McMahan – or a DeKalb County Board of Education veteran they've long voted into his seat at the polls.

McMahan said he thinks its going to be him, according to a story this week in Neighbor Newspapers.
