Watch out Dougherty, Mitchell, and Thomas Counties Georgia,
and Jefferson, Taylor, Lafayette, Suwannee, and Columbia Counties, Florida, and the Flint, Ochlockonee, Aucilla, Ecofina, Suwannee, and Santa Fe Rivers: Alternative 3 is for you!
County Commissions and city councils in the county seats of Camilla, Thomasville,
