Thank You
I would like to thank everyone who supported me
in my endeavor to be a county commissioner. This
has been an eye opening experience into the everyday
problems that face our community. I feel inspired
to continue my education in how to help make our
community and county what we all expect. I really
enjoyed meeting and talking to the people. I am proud
of the results I achieved especially considering I have
never attempted to be elected to a public office. Natu
rally I would have been more pleased with an opposite
result but sometimes we win even when we lose. I
wish the best for and congratulate my opponent. We
should all continue to remember our elected represen
tatives in our prayers for their journey ahead will not
be an easy one. The election process is likely the easy
battle anyone elected has to face. Thank you again
and for anyone wondering ,” I’ll be back!”

TO THE CITIZENS

I want to express my sincere thanks for your
support as I served you on the Lee County

goal during my service as your county com

served on the Leesburg City Commission was
to see our county grow and attract new busi
nesses and jobs. I am very proud to be a part
of this thriving Southwest Georgia County.
I believe that Rick Muggridge will have the
best interest of Lee County at heart and ask
you to support him as he begins his duties on
the commission in January.
My heartfelt thanks,
Morris Leverett, Sr.
Chairman, Lee County Commission
