Mike CheathamMike Cheatham Mike Cheatham threw his hat in the ring for a school board seat this week when Gina Lord Shattuck withdrew from the race, because he says the Lansing community deserves to have choices. Cheatham has attended and participated in school board meetings frequently over the 20 years he and wife Terri have lived here.
