FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – Two more Republican candidates qualified today for the May 24 General Primary election — incumbent District 1 Board of Education member Wes McCall and Dennis Scheidt, a retired Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer for a major Atlanta hospital. Scheidt will challenge McCall for the District 1 seat.
