Jacob Douylliez, a minister from the west of the county, stepped forward in the final day of qualifying Wednesday to run as a Democrat in the special election to fill the vacant Post 3 on the Oconee County Board of Commissioners.
Douylliez joins two other candidates, Amrey Harden and Aaron Nowak, both of whom qualified as Republicans on Monday, in the non-primaried special election on Nov. 3 to fill the seat formerly held by William “Bubber” Wilkes, who passed away earlier this year.
Also on Wednesday, Chris Summers qualified to seek Post 3 on the Watkinsville City Council, and Peter Steckel qualified for Post 4.
On Monday, Brett Thomas had qualified for Post 3, and incumbent Christine Tucker had qualified for Post 4.
On Tuesday, Jeff Campbell withdrew his qualification for Post 3, currently held by his wife, Marci Campbell, who is not seeking reelection, and qualified for Post 5
Carolyn Maultsby had qualified for Post 5 on Monday. Post 5 incumbent Dan Matthews did seek reelection.
Each of the three Council seats now has two candidates competing in the nonpartisan races.

Lee,
Thank you for the update. Watkinsville Post 4 Candidate Peter Steckel's address of 54 South Main Street is shown as being owned by Laura Smith, who is the wife of Watkinsville Mayor Bob Smith. Are you aware of any other situation where a City's Mayor is the landlord for one of its City Council Members?
