Former School Member Files To Run Against Paul
January 24, 2008
Former Escambia County School Board member Cary Stidham qualified Thursday to run against incumbent Jim Paul for superintendent of the Escambia County Schools. She joins Myra L. Simmons in the race against Paul, who was arrested two weeks ago for DUI.
Stidham filed as a Democrat after changing her party affiliation. Stidham was elected as a Republican in the District 2 representative on the board in 1998 and 2002. In 2006, she lost to Gerald Boone. Boone garnered 56 percent of the vote in that election, beating Stidham by more than 1,000 votes.
