Experience serving the citizens of Newton County:

During my time on the Board of Commissioners, I have advocated for responsible growth and development that prioritizes the needs of our citizens. I have fought against reckless zoning decisions that would jeopardize the character and integrity of our neighborhoods. My goal has always been to ensure that Newton County remains a place where families can thrive for generations.

I have undergone extensive training to prepare for the responsibilities of serving as your District 5 Commissioner. My commitment to transparency, accountability, communication, and collaboration sets me apart as a leader who has always put the interests of our citizens first.

Professional Experience:

With over 25 years of experience in real estate, I bring a unique perspective to the table. I deeply understand our community's issues, from infrastructure to land use planning and high-density zoning. I aim to avoid a mass exit from citizens who have invested in our community. I have successfully defeated complex zoning decisions in District 5, always keeping the best interests of our citizens in mind and preserving our current landscape. With my experience in real estate, I possess a profound understanding of our community's challenges, enabling me to pledge as a steadfast advocate for policies that manage growth while prioritizing conservation and community input. I understand what type of housing is needed in the area and what citizens want from their leaders. Over the years, I have remained an unwavering advocate for responsible land use policies, tirelessly combating inappropriate development projects and high-density zoning proposals that threaten to erode the essence of what makes District 5 unique.

LeAnne 

I am fortunate to have formed connections with many citizens of Newton County. Over the past 34 years, I have been actively involved in the community, serving on the Board of Commissioners and Board of Equalization for more than 15 years. I am also an active volunteer for Project Renewal and various other events aimed at improving our community. Additionally, I take great pleasure in sponsoring numerous schools and community events. Currently, I serve as the President of the River Cove Civic Association Homeowners and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to represent you as the New District 5 County Commissioner.

Family and Career:

I have been a resident of Newton County for 36 years and am a business owner. I have been happily married to Stanley for 37 years, and together we have two adult children who are married, as well as two beautiful grandchildren, aged 4 years and 4 months.

We moved to Newton County in 1988 and quickly developed a deep affection for the community. Stanley retired from AT&T after 41 years of service, while I have enjoyed a fulfilling career in Real Estate since 1988 and have been a small business owner since 2006.

We became deeply involved in the school system, and both our daughter, Rhiannon Long Townley, and son, Colton Long, graduated from the Newton County school system and went on to attend prestigious colleges. Rhiannon graduated from the University of Georgia, and Colton graduated from Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton.

Our two beautiful grandchildren live less than 1 mile away, and I thoroughly enjoy being their Glam!
