The DeKalb County Republican Party has nominated a candidate to run for Assessor of Property in the August General Election.
Mason Carter, a first district county commissioner, made his announcement official Saturday morning during the local GOP convention held at the courthouse. Delegates to the convention nominated him without opposition.
Carter and his wife Pamela reside in the Temperance Hall community. He worked with DTC Communications for some thirty years before his retirement.
In making his announcement, Carter said “I come before the Republican Party asking for your support and that you would allow me to run for Assessor of Property for DeKalb County. I just appreciate everybody’s support and if there is anything I can do just let me know. I appreciate it.”
Carter was elected to the county commission from the first district in 2006 and he was re-elected in 2010.
No other candidate came before the delegation.
DeKalb County voters will be electing an Assessor of Property and Constable from each of the seven districts in the county during the General Election next August.
The Democratic nominees for these offices will be chosen in the DeKalb County Democratic Primary on March 6th.
Democrats and Independents have until noon Thursday, December 8th to become qualified to run.
