Margaret Long, the District 5 representative for the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores area, announced last week that she will seek re-election as a member of the Baldwin County Board of Education.
"Having been a teacher in the county, I love Baldwin County and I love education, and I feel like I bring a lot to the board," Long said.
Long, who was first elected to the board in 2002 and has since served as chairwoman of the Policy Committee, is running as a Republican.
The seven members of the board serve six-year terms and earn $4,200 annually.
District 5 includes Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan, as well as parts of Elberta, Lillian and Perdido Beach.
The GOP and Democratic primaries for county and statewide offices are set for June 3, according to the Baldwin County Probate Court's Web site. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 4.
