CLEVELAND, Ga. — White County Commission Chairman Travis Turner has decided to seek another term. Turner said Tuesday that after much discussion with his family, trusted friends, and prayer, he will ask the citizens to allow him to continue to serve.

Turner, who has served as commission chairman since 2009, says he will run on his past service record.

“I feel like I have – I’ve had a steady hand in being able to fill the role as commission chairman to bring sound, steady guidance to our county, to our community, to our commission board,” he says.

Turner says he realizes that it is early, but he wants to make his intentions known as he implements a personal one-on-one campaign, talking with the voters.

“I can share my heart, I can share my thoughts of why, perhaps why, I govern the way I do.”

The party primary election is May 21 with the general election set for November 5.
