The Hall County Republican Party has selected its appointments to the new elections board that will launch Jan. 1. Ken Cochran, the owner of Cochran’s Marine Service who narrowly lost a race this year for a Hall County Board of Commissioners seat, and Ann Jones, a longtime Flowery Branch resident, businesswoman and activist in Republican politics, will represent the GOP’s interests on the elections board. The Board of Elections and Registrations of Hall County, created by approval of the state legislature this year, removes supervision of the chief registrar from the Hall County Superior Court and puts it into the hands of the county administrator.
