May 18, 2009

Peachtree City Mayor Harold Logsdon wants to be Georgia insurance commissioner.

“I believe that life is not about self, but about service to others.While I have enjoyed my time as mayor of Peachtree City, I knew about mid-way through my term as mayor that I wanted to serve on the state level,” he said.

Logsdon, a former BellSouth executive who also has served in the millitary, has served three years as Peachtree City’s Mayor.

The mayor is not alone in the race for the post, which is being vacated by John Oxendine, who is running for governor.

State Senator Seth Harp, also a Republican, has announced he will seek the job.

Also, Mary Squires, a former Democratic state lawmaker who now lobbies for the self-insurance industry, is also running.
