After two decades on the Smithfield Borough Council, Jesse J. Moats has announced his candidacy for the Albert Gallatin area school board. Mr. Moats is a steadfast conservative Republican who is pro-life, pro-second amendment, and decided not to cross-file; instead, he is only running on the Republican ticket.
