and polite campaign ran by
his competitor.
“I would start off thank
ing the good Lord above
for the victory, and I’d like
to thank my supporters
who have been exceedingly
diligent,” French said. “I’d
also like to thank Jamie
McCracken too for running
such a gentlemanly cam
paign; sometimes politics
can get really ugly and we
were just both able to do
our campaign as gentlemen
and I appreciate that.”
French works as an
office manager for a local
manufacturing company
and has lived in
Dawsonville for 12 years.
He has served on the city
council since he was elect
ed into the role in 2017. He
said he is excited to contin
ue serving on the city coun
cil for his next term.
“I’m humbled to contin
ue to be able to serve the
citizens of Dawsonville and
I look forward to the next
four years of being up there
and being their voice,”
French said. “I’m just look
ing forward to having this
behind us and moving on
to our next big challenge.”

counts in an election like
this.
“I would love to say
thank you to everyone who
came out and voted,” lllg
said. “It is so important to
vote in the city and local
elections because that’s
where you have the most
control and before getting
on city council I had no
idea, now I can tell you
firsthand that the best time
to vote is local.”
lllg works as an invest
ment advisor and also as
an associate pastor with
Echo Ministries. He
moved to Dawsonville in
2017, out of the city in
2019 and back into the city
in 2020. He has served on
the city council since he
was appointed in May
2021.
lllg said he’s excited to
continue his service on the
city council because he has
a lot of good ideas he
hopes to develop to help
attract more people to the
downtown area and help
Dawsonville flourish.
“I’m super excited; I’m
glad it’s over,” lllg said. “I
had ideas in my brain that I
kind of put on hold
momentarily cause it takes
a lot of work to get that off
the ground and if I’m just
leaving it doesn’t make
much sense to continue
pursuing it, so I’m excited
to keep doing it.”
lllg said he could not
have done it without the
support and encourage
ment from those who
voted for him.
“The whole election
thing today was a little
nerve-wracking,” lllg said,
“but everybody was send
ing me pictures of them
voting with their voting
sticker saying I voted for
you and good luck; it was
encouraging to get those
along the way so that was
nice.”
