The candidates for Georgia Senate District 6 offered different approaches to health care, energy costs and affordability during Tuesday’s candidate town hall at the Howard Warner Community Center.

Republican incumbent Matt Brass emphasized his legislative record on foster care, mental health, workforce development and education. Democratic challenger JerMarkus Jacobs called for Medicaid expansion, stronger utility protections and a change in representation.

Both candidates said elected officials need to listen more closely to residents and work across jurisdictional and party lines.

Sunlight in a driver's eyes allegedly caused a crash on Poplar Road on Thursday morning.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, the driver of a blue Mercedes SUV was heading east on Poplar Road when they failed to maintain their lane and crossed into the road's westbound lane.

A second driver of a gray Chevrolet Blazer swerved into the eastbound lane to avoid a collision, while the blue SUV struck a RAV4 head-on.

The redevelopment of 57 East Broad Street has taken shape over more than a decade.

Beginning with the closure of Caldwell Tanks, it was followed by a rejected apartment proposal, the city’s purchase of the property, multiple planning studies, shifting development concepts and years of negotiations with private developers.

When Newnan bought the site in 2021, city officials said the goal was not to make money on the property but to retain control over what would eventually be built on one of downtown’s most significant redevelopment sites.

Former-mayor Keith Brady once described it as "the most complicated project the city has taken on."

At a called meeting Wednesday evening, the Coweta County Board of Education appointed Dr. Shanna Downs to serve as the school system’s Interim Superintendent for the remainder of 2026-27 school year

Downs’ duties in the Coweta County School System will begin on November 1, allowing her to serve concurrently with current Superintendent Dr. Evan Horton before his December 1 retirement.

Horton announced his retirement in August, citing a health issue prompted him to leave the position earlier than he had planned.

A Senoia resident, Downs has 30 years of educational experience, previously serving as the Superintendent of the Gilmer County School System from 2015 to 2021 before assuming her current role as Executive Director of the West Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency, where she works directly with the Coweta County School System and six other area school systems to support district leadership, educators and students through professional learning, instructional support and regional educational services.
