Forsyth County Commissioner Todd Levent Seeks Re-Election

Forsyth County Commissioner Todd Levent of District 3 announced Wednesday that he would seek a second term.

Levent made the announcement, with his wife Dana by his side and supporters like Lance White, president of the Humane Society of Forsyth County in attendance, in the lobby of the Forsyth County Administration Building. 

"Four years ago, I campaigned on a promise to keep Forsyth taxes low and I have kept that promise. Forsyth County citizens have not seen a millage increase in four years and today our property taxes are among the lowest in the state," he said.

But, he added, there is more work that needs to be done.

"I want to continue to fight for smart growth, and to keep our taxes among the lowest, our schools among the best and our community among the safest and most prosperous in this state. So I proudly announce today that I am seeking a second term as the county commissioner from District 3."

He further explained his reasons for seeking re-election.

"With all the comprehensive road projects and all the park projects I've been working on, and the animal shelter, and the jail-courthouse, there's so many things that aren't completed yet, to only do one term and not see them all through would seem like I'm quitting and I don't want to leave them until there're all completed."

Levent was elected in 2010 to serve as the District 3 commissioner for the 2011-2014 term. As a small business owner, he co-own's Midway Warehouse, located at 4820 Atlanta Highway. Read more about Levent on the county website page.

Earlier this week David Hole, a Forsyth County business owner, announced his intention to seek election to the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners in District 3.
