Georgia News(Week 4) - First Contested Election for Morrow City

For the first time in many years, Morrow city and its voters will take part in a contested City Council election, according to a recent article. Newcomer Dorothy Brandon is running against incumbent Virlyn Slaton, a member of the City Council for four years. According to the article, "council members in Morrow serve at-large and [do not] represent particular distrcits. But a candidate can choose who they would like to run against for a specific council seat." Slaton's opponent has been a resident of Morrow for eight years, and is very popular throughout the community. Brandon has mentioned her plan to get Morrow residents "more involved in city affairs." This should be an interesting contest, as it will be something that the city of Murrow has not seen in a long time, and it involves two qualified and respected opponents.
