Hi! I'm James Lawrence

I was raised in Quitman and graduated from Brooks County High School, where I served as drum major of the marching band and president of the student council. Those early experiences taught me how to lead, listen, and bring people together.

My decision to run for Mayor comes from a simple belief that people deserve to understand how their city works. Too often, government expects citizens to come to them. I believe leadership means going to the people, communicating clearly, and building trust through action.

With more than a decade of management and operations experience, I understand the importance of both numbers and results. My goal is to make Quitman stronger through responsible budgeting, fair utility costs, improved infrastructure, and smart growth. Above all, I believe people deserve results, not excuses.
