ROSWELL, GA - Mayor of Roswell Lori Henry will run for reelection to the cityâs highest office.
Henry first served Roswell as an elected official in 2001, taking a seat on the City Council. She served two consecutive terms before running an unsuccessful bid for Mayor in 2009. When Kent Igleheart resigned from the City Council in 2017, Henry won a special election to fill his seat. That same year, a judge ruled that Mayor Jere Wood had violated his term limits. Wood then announced he would not seek reelection. Henry ran for the seat and eventually won in a runoff election against pastor Lee Jenkins. She took office in January 2018, becoming the cityâs first woman elected as the Mayor of Roswell.
