Beaudreau to Seek Re-election to Commission District 3

Written by Mike Beaudreau

Mike Beaudreau announced today that he would run for a third term as Gwinnett County Commissioner in District 3.

"The last few years have been very difficult for the county and many of its residents," Beaudreau said. "Because of the economic downturn, the Board of Commissioners was forced to make difficult decisions about spending and taxes. My conservative leadership and opposition to tax increases helped get us to where we are today, with our top credit rating intact, and with the lowest unemployment rate of metro Atlanta's core counties. Now that we see signs of improvement on the horizon, I want to continue to help move the county in the right direction."

If he is reelected, Commissioner Beaudreau will continue to promote economic development efforts to grow the county's tax base and will continue his record of tight fiscal management of the county budget. He also hopes to build on his seven year track record of expanding transparency in county government.

Mike Beaudreau was elected in 2004 as Gwinnett's youngest County Commissioner. During his tenure, he has worked tirelessly on issues important to residents; he remains committed to improving the quality of life by passing stricter development regulations, making government more transparent by promoting ethics reform, and making government more efficient by focusing on key county services while keeping property taxes as low as possible.

Due to reapportionment, District 3 boundaries have changed a bit. It now includes portions of the Braselton and Chateau Elan areas in the northern part of the county, and still includes Centerville, Snellville, Grayson, Loganville and Dacula.
