My name is Norman Gibbs III, and I am running for Chief Magistrate Judge of Gilmer County. I am married to Ginger Logan Gibbs. We have two sons, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. I have lived in Gilmer County for over 45 years.

My wife has lived here all of her life. We are proud and very thankful to live in this wonderful county.

Over the years, this nation has significantly changed, but Gilmer County has continued to be a great place to raise a family. I have decided to run for chief magistrate because I enjoy making decisions based on the facts using the law and because it gives me an opportunity to use my experience for the good of our county. 

I want Gilmer County to maintain that safe hometown feel that will allow my grandchildren and future generations to enjoy it.

I worked in Ellijay at Blue Ridge Carpet Mills for 31 years. The last 20 years I served as vice president of operations and vice president of logistics. My responsibilities included complete control of the manufacturing operation, as well as inventory control, customer service, production planning and scheduling. There were over 100 employees involved in the operation.

Important decisions had to be made on a daily basis. I also learned throughout my career the importance of dealing with all situations in the correct manner. This gives me the experience needed to carry out the responsibilities of this office.

As an ordained Baptist minister for 29 years, I know the importance of having integrity, honesty and treating all people equally. All people are special and should be treated as such (for we all have a soul).

I sincerely ask for you to vote for me in the upcoming primary May 19. Your vote will be greatly appreciated.
