Voters in the city of Lithonia are headed to the polls on March 17 to pick two new council members.

Four candidates – Rick Dodd, Al Franklin, Deborah Jackson and Tabitha Wingo – are seeking the two open seats on the council.

They are vying to complete the unexpired terms of former council members Tonya Peterson and Linda Pruett, who each had a year left on their terms.

Peterson is the city’s mayor and Pruett resigned from the council.

Dodd, who is self-employed, has run for the council before. Franklin is an advertising account executive. Jackson, an attorney, ran for mayor in the Nov. 18 special election. Wingo is a tax examiner.

The election will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Lithonia Middle School, 2451 Randall Ave. in Lithonia. The top two vote-getters will join Doreen Carter, Kathleen deCocq and Marcus Lloyd on the council.

Deborah Jackson brings a level of intelligence and common sense to the Lithonia City Council that has definitely been missing. I wish her the very best during her short tenure and feel confident the citizens will recognize her value and re-elect her in November.
