Chuck Jones Announces Candidacy

Charles “Chuck” Jones, a resident of Turtle Cove and County Commission District 4, has announced his intentions to seek election as commissioner.

Mr. Jones moved to Jackson Lake and Turtle Cove 15 years ago, and said he has seen changes in Jasper County. However, his work did not cooperate with him attending meetings and learning about inner functionings of county government until recently.

“The concerns of this county, though rural, are challenging. It is my intention to bring my experience of labor management, human resource interactions, reliability, and determination to affect in a positive manner the needs of my community and our county,” Mr. Jones said.

Mr. Jones has attended many of the county commission meetings in recent years, and serves as a volunteer community member to help update the Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Mr. Jones moved to Stone Mountain in 1982 with his employment with the Eastman Kodak Company. He worked for Kodak for 35 years, and retired in 2008.

A native of New York, he graduated with a degree in business administration from State University of New York, Cobleskill, marrying his wife, Juli, in 1972. He transferred from Rochester, N.Y. to Stone Mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have a grown son, Christopher, and two granddaughters, Maggie and Kate who live in metro Atlanta.

He is an avid sports enthusiast, and coached Little League and recreation soccer when his son was young. He enjoys all sports, he said, including NASCAR. He is looking forward to attending the Daytona 500 later this month.
