Announcement from Dixie Carter – Candidate for Post I Commissioner
On Nov. 3rd, Fannin County will elect a new Post I Commissioner. My name is Dixie Carter, I am running for the Post I seat and I need your vote on Nov. 3rd. I am not looking for power or status, I just want to serve my community and work hard for all the citizens of Fannin County.
I am an 8th generation Georgia native and have resided in the North Georgia mountains for over 35 years. It has been a blessing to live and work in the north Georgia communities of Dalton to Ringgold and now Morganton. Currently, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I assist individuals living with mental health disorders and substance use disorders. I earned a Master of Social Worker degree from Kennesaw State. I have been serving Georgians for over 30 years. As a social worker, I have witnessed how a community’s challenges can affect a person’s quality of life such as a lack of affordable housing, few jobs that pay a living wage, limited choices in public transportation, and lack of a public library to meet the needs of almost 26,000 residents. However, I have also witnessed how generous and giving the Fannin County community can be when others are in need. Our local community has many strengths and assets that we can build on to improve the quality of life for all our neighbors.
My training as a social worker has given me the knowledge, skills, and values to help individuals improve their quality of life. Also, my training has given me the tools to work with citizens in making positive changes in our community. As a commissioner, I want to collaborate with citizens in order to serve the public interest. After all commissioners are elected to represent the people and provide a safe and healthy community for all.
As your commissioner, I plan to govern by keeping the community informed of ongoing projects, needs, and financial issues. A town hall or community forums, written monthly updates, and quarterly newsletters are a few actions that can help inform citizens as well as gain input from citizens.
I look forward to talking with the citizens of Fannin County and listening to your concerns.

Commissioners prioritize tax dollars for general public projects
Not activists wish lists...
I recently saw a post where you complained about a sign being degraded
Your comment was... time to get the “razors out”?
What did you mean by that?
Really I would like to know
