Tim Thomas announces bid for expected Warner Robins Post 4 vacancy | Elections | Macon.com

WARNER ROBINS — A former City Council candidate said Friday he’s going to give it another shot this year, becoming the first person to announce a bid for the Post 4 seat Councilman Mike Brashear is expected to vacate.

Tim Thomas, 50, said he wants to run for council now more than ever because of the power struggle among the city’s leaders.

“You’re elected to do a job, not to have power,” he said. “I want to be a civic servant, not a politician.”

Thomas ran for Post 2, at-large, in 2011. Carolyn Robbins won the race, but Thomas said he did well in Post 4, where he lives.

Another at-large seat, Post 1, is up for re-election this year, but Thomas said he wanted to focus on the district where he lives.

Brashear announced this summer he will run for mayor, which requires him to vacate his council seat with two years left in the term.
