Next up in my “Who’s on your ballot?” series is the Paulding County Post 2 Commissioner race. I’m not in Post 2, so I haven’t really looked too deep into this race, but I have seen the candidates and have heard what they have to say.
The candidates for Post 2 Commissioner are:
Beverly Cochran – has been Executive Assistant to the Paulding County Board of Commissioners and Ex-Officio Clerk for a long time, was previously VP of Paulding Chamber of Commerce.
Adam Gregory – pretty sharp local small business owner, isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said, even if you don’t want to hear it.
Todd Pownall – Paulding County good old boy, said he’d give back his salary to offset furlough days for the first 2 years of his term.
Like I said, this is one of the races that won’t be on my ballot, so I don’t really know who I would support. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be Todd Pownall though. Hey, instead of giving that salary back ($24k/year), how about getting serious about cutting the county’s budget and saving the taxpayers some money? But I digress.
Beverly and Adam both have some pretty strong points in their favor. If you’re in Post 2, take some time to get to talk to both of them before you make a final decision. They’re both very nice people and are very easily accessible.
