Purdy School Board candidates vie for two seats
Three candidates are vying for two seats on the Purdy School Board.
On Tuesday, voters will be choosing between incumbents Ruben Henderson and Ken Terry and newcomer Kelli Stephens.
Henderson is completing his first term on the school board and hoping for another opportunity to represent the residents of Purdy in the school district.
Henderson is following in his fathers footsteps and his brothers footsteps, who served 27 years and 12 years on the school board respectively.
I know what it takes to do the job, Henderson said. Ive seen it all. My father was on the board when they added on the middle school, and my brother was there when they did the FEMA building.
