The tall guy standing in back of the Ashland Armory with the I'm-so-glad-the-campaigning-is-over look on his face is Jim Olney. He's the Democrats' candidate facing C.W. Smith's for Smith's seat on the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.
He's a first-time candidate and believe it or not, he's not nervous.
"I'm way over that hump now," he says.
No predictions here, either.
He's considered an underdog against the popular incumbant. Olney says he's pleased he spent nine months knocking on doors and talking to thousands of Jackson County residents about what they want and need in their civic leaders.
"Win or lose, I'm glad I did it," Olney says. "It's something you have to do once in your life."
