Reflections of one wacky campaign season

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the campaign trail against Chuck Williams and the others, some more than others, but I was always welcomed with open arms at every venue, home and business in the 113th District.

Charles Ivie is the first person to come forward and announce that he will run for mayor of Watkinsville. “All my life I have been interested in politics,” said Ivie. “I have often thought that when I retired I would offer for a council post.

Born in Farmington, he has lived in Oconee County all of his life, and he has lived in his current home for 40 years. Watkinsville Mayor Joe Walter announced at the most recent council meeting that he was not going to run for reelection.
