All three Christian County School Board seats on the November ballot will be contested and Walter Shamble is running again for mayor of Hopkinsville.
Shamble has campaigned as an independent for mayor during the last several mayoral elections and describes himself as a voice for the poor.
District 1 school board incumbent Jeff Moore filed for re-election Tuesday and will face John Bruce. Susan Hayes did not file for re-election in District 2 and that seat will go to the winner between Tiffany Mumford Brame and Nichole Eastman.
Board Chair Linda Keller did not file for re-election to her District 4 seat and that election will be between Mike Walker and Desma Renea Blount.

Independent Don Pemberton filed in Ward 5 and will face incumbent Republican Amy Craig.
