LaBoa for Lumpkin Commission Chairman

Let's be honest. D&B are new to Lumpkin County and new to Lumpkin County politics. Yet, even a relative newcomer can see that Lumpkin County is suffering from economic pains, financial restrictions and lots of leadership in-fighting. The county government needs a leader with strong leadership skills, a long term vision and definitely the ability  to 'work well with others.'

Guy LaBoa, who is running for Lumpkin County Commission Chairman, definitely fits that description.  First, he's a retired three star U.S. Army General with an impressive military record that includes four Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts. Anyone with that kind of background is what we call a real leader.

After 35 years of military service and a stint as a corporate executive, Guy and his wife Pat could have retired anywhere. They chose Dahlonega where Pat had graduated from North Georgia State College. Since they moved to Dahlonega, Guy has quickly became part of the community and local politics. He served on the Northeast Regional Boy Scouts Executive Committee, the Chestatee Regional Hospital Board, and Board of Directors of the Dahlonega Rotary Club. He was even elected to the Dahlonega City Council.

Now he is running for Lumpkin County Commission Chairman. He has our vote. Not just because of his leadership experience (and the fact that we graduated from the same college in Louisiana), but because he has the vision that Lumpkin needs. We encourage you to support Guy LaBoa.
