There will be several new faces on the municipal councils around Barrow County come January following the results from Tuesday’s election.

In Winder, challenger Jimmy Terrell, a former law enforcement official and interim county manager, easily defeated incumbent city councilman Ridley Parrish for the Ward 3 seat, garnering 235 votes (67 percent) to Parrish’s 113 (32.2 percent). Parrish has served on the council since January 1993 and was also a member of the Barrow County Board of Education for 14 years.
