Bryan, Bobo raise combined $38K ahead of mayoral primary
WEST POINT Two Democratic candidates for mayor have raised more than $38,000 combined ahead of Tuesday’s primary election.
Candidates for municipal races running in party primaries were required to file campaign finance primary pre-election reports by 5 p.m. Tuesday. Those reports must include the totals a candidate took in and spent, as well as itemize, or identify, each contribution or disbursement of more than $200. Those $200 or less can be considered non-itemized and are not required to be identified.
Cole Bryan led the way at deadline, reporting $21,849 in contributions, $5,649 of which were not itemized. His itemized donations which the city clerk’s office provided The Dispatch in a handwritten list instead of on the official form included $4,200 from M. Sundbeck and Joy; $4,000 from J. Bryan; $1,200 from Old Waverly Properties; $1,000 from Robinhoods; $600 from S. Jameson; $500 each from K. Dill Jr., J. Pop

McDONOUGH â When Reginald Scandrett walked across the stage to accept his Frederick Douglass High School diploma, the 1987 graduate already had 14 full music scholarships awaiting his decision. His passion since the second grade, music is what inspired him and what first opened the doors of leadership that directed him where he is today.
A percussionist and pianist, Scandrett was always named band section leader in high school before becoming president of the 400-member organization, which has historically been one of the most notable marching bands in the state.
âI went to college to major in music, but it didnât materialize,â Scandrett said during a recent interview. âI had a conversation with my band director. I was a sergeant at the DeKalb Sheriffâs Office then, and he said heâd been (teaching) 38 years and said, âYouâre making more than I am.ââ
