Democrat Angela Thomas Middleton will challenge incumbent Republican Jeff Stowe for the District 4 seat on the Hall County Board of Commissioners this election season, and battle lines are being drawn around the south side of Gainesville. Early voting begins Monday and Stowe, in his first re-election bid, is looking to stamp his campaign promises on the electorate. “I have a track record now,” Stowe said, adding that his opponent is not subject to the same scrutiny he faces.
