Clarkesville’s newest city council member is on the job. Mayor Barrie Aycock swore in Brad Coppedge Monday during a council work session.
Coppedge succeeds Roxie Barron as the Post 2 city council member after defeating Rick Wood in the November 8 special election.
After he was sworn into office, Coppedge told New Habersham, “I have waited for this opportunity. I certainly appreciate everything that the residents of Clarkesville did in voting me in to put me in here. Now, the work begins.”
Barron resigned from the Clarkesville City Council in March because she was moving to Florida. Coppedge will fill the remainder of Barron’s unexpired term through December 31, 2023.
He says he’s looking forward to working with this team.
“Like I said during the campaign, I am working toward a better Clarkesville.”
