When former commissioner Louis Hunter was elected to the West Cobb seat not too long ago, most believed the unknown candidate won because he made growth and development his main issue.
Things have not changed for this election. Growth remains a big issue in this year's campaign for the seat.
It wasn't long ago that District One was known for its picturesque rural areas. But over the past five years there has been an explosion of development in the area. How future growth will be handled depends on the strength and experience of whoever represents the district.
Two candidates stand out. Bill Askea and Judy Williams have both made the issue the centerpiece of their campaigns.
