Three Candidates Seeking Powder Springs Offices

No incumbents on the Powder Springs City Council have opted to pass on re-election bids, but so far, all three remain unopposed ahead of Thursday’s final day of candidate qualifying.

Ward 3’s Nancy Hudson qualified late Tuesday afternoon after her two fellow councilmen, Ward 1’s Cheryl Sarvis and Ward 2’s Al Thurman, filed their paperwork earlier in the day, City Clerk Dawn Davis told West Cobb Patch Wednesday. The three incumbents were the only ones to have qualified by 4:15 p.m. Wednesday—just 15 minutes before the end of qualifying for the day.

Only one more day remains for candidates to file their paperwork to seek one of the three council seats. Interested residents will have from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday to file their paperwork in the second-floor conference room of city hall.

The qualifying fee is $360, and potential candidates must have resided in the city for at least 12 months prior to the election. A map of the three wards is attached to this article.

Voters in Powder Springs head to the polls on Nov. 5.
