Violet Dawe draws opposition in North High Shoals city council race
The always entertaining North High Shoals city council electoral process became all the more interesting with longtime incumbent Violet Dawe drawing opposition for her many term held post. New father Joseph Latner of Plantation Road will be running against Violet for her seat. There is also an open seat, vacated by Fred Johnson, where newcomers Sarah Donegan will be running against Stephen Arnold.
Post 3 (currently vacant) will feature David Lawrence vs Scott Wilson
Post 4 (currently held by Fred Johnson) will feature Stephen Arnold vs Sarah Donegan
and Post 5 will have the incumbent Violet Dawe vs Joseph Latner

"I think it is great that we have young people willing to run," said Dawe. "For the longest time we never had any candidates."
She especially enjoyed her most recent term on the council, saying it was her favorite.
"We got a lot done with the two other council members (Fred Johnson and Steve Holzman). The last term has been the best. We made changes to the charter and did some other things."
Mayor Jeff Thomas has previously indicated that he will resign after the election, although there has been repeated vacillation on the timing of any resignation.
