Good news for the City of Bremen: they won’t have to pay for an election in November after all. At least not for the open City Council seat.
Bill Hightower was sworn in on Monday to serve as the new City Council Post 1 seat after he was the only candidate to qualify for the seat.
He replaces Dobson Harris on the Council, who stepped down in recent weeks.
Since Hightower was the only candidate to file paperwork during the Special Qualifying period, the City Council approved a unanimous decision to cancel the upcoming election, 3-0.
Hightower is the owner of Hightower Funeral Home in Bremen and a lifelong resident of Haralson County. He’s a 1985 graduate of Bremen High School, Carroll Technical School as an Emergency Medical Technician in 1986, Metro Paramedic Program in 1987 and Gupton Jones Mortuary College in 1989.
He’s married with four children, including his daughter who works with him at the funeral home.
Hightower comes into the role as Harris stepped down to run for the Mayor’s seat.
