Race for Warner Robins Mayor Goes On

So, election day has come and gone, and the race for Warner Robins mayor goes on. It's the playoffs, if you prefer sports. It's a runoff, if politics is your sport of choice. Voters decided Clifford Holmes didn't make the cut. Chuck Chalk and Chuck Shaheen are the last two standing. Vote December 1^st if you care!

For the record, here's a breakdown of the results: Chuck Chalk- 1941; Clifford Holmes- 1724; Chuck Shaheen- 2269. On election day, fewer than 6,000 people voted, and you can bet even fewer will vote in the runoff. That's about how many voted in our student government elections when I was in college.

Here are the remaining candidates; websites:

Race for Warner Robins Mayor Could Get Interesting

This year the mayor race in Warner Robins could be interesting. You've got four people who believe they have a solid vision for the city, including an incumbent mayor and a former interim mayor & city council member. From what I can tell, all four men have very strong personalities and distinct experiences that would guide how they would lead the city. Chuck Chalk served in the Air Force and was based at Robins Air Force Base. Clifford Holmes has served on the city council and has made a career as an educator. Chuck Shaheen is a successful local businessman. And Mayor Donald Walker takes credit for making sure Warner Robins grows steadily and methodically.

Advanced voting begins October 26th, and election day is November 3rd.
