Facilities Management Director running for District 5 seat! John Hartman is running for District 5 County Commission seat in the fall election. Hartman who was the Facilities Management Director has worked closely with the ATU over the past 7 years. "John is a good man and I think he'll really be a strong candidate for the seat" states Mike Lowery, President of ATU Local 1395. Hartman is running as a Democrat, which will be difficult to overcome in a district that has voted Republican for so long. But in a year with Democrats looking strong in the National elections, this just might be the move to help him be successful. Union President Mike Lowery states endorsements from ATU Local 1395 are usually looked at in March or April. "We'll screen candidates soon and decide which direction the ATU will go soon enough". The incumbent is Commissioner Kevin White who is also running. White is a Republican and did not get the ATU endorsement four years ago. But Lowery notes that Kevin White and the ATU have had some very positive relations during his term.
