An incumbent and two challengers, all with experience on the Fort Oglethorpe City Council, will be on the Nov. 8 ballot to represent Ward 4 on that council.
Incumbent Charles Sharrock, 65, is seeking re-election to the position he has held for the last four years.
“I am running again because I care about the city and the citizens as a whole,” he said. “I want to do everything I can do that is in their interest.”
A graduate of Ringgold High School, Sharrock was trained as a machinist and worked at U.S. Pipe for 40 years.
“Right now I’m trying to focus on some areas that need fine tuning,” he said. “We need to work to upgrade the old section of Fort Oglethorpe along U.S. Highway 27. There are too many empty businesses in that area, one that could be a calling card for the city and the entire area.”
