Acworth Alderman Tim Richardson submitted the following announcement:

Longtime Acworth leader Tim Richardson has announced his candidacy for reelection to the Post 4 seat on the Acworth Board of Aldermen. A 45-year resident of the city, Richardson is completing his 28th year of service on the city’s leadership team.

A native of Cobb County, Richardson retired from a successful career as a field engineer with Bell and Howell in the mail processing industry. The non-partisan election will take place on November 4, 2025.

Richardson’s campaign will center on Quality of Life—a vision built on safe streets, smart growth, quality city services, and a strong sense of community. Over the past 25 years, he has helped foster partnerships that have strengthened Acworth’s economy while preserving its small-town charm.

“I’ve always focused on what matters most—making Acworth a great place to live, raise a family, and retire,” Richardson said. “That means smart growth, safe streets, a strong community, and responsive leadership. I’m ready to continue working for the citizens of Acworth for another four years.”
