CORNELIA, Ga. — Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon will be in Cornelia this evening as he continues his campaign for a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives. Couvillon is scheduled to speak at 5:30p.m. at The Common Ground, a community gathering space located in downtown Cornelia.
Couvillon, who has served as Gainesville’s mayor since 2022 and previously held a seat on the Gainesville City Council, is traveling across Northeast Georgia to meet voters and share his legislative priorities. His visit to Cornelia offers Habersham County residents an opportunity to hear directly from him and ask questions in a conversational setting.
The Common Ground hosts regular events that encourage open civic discussion and neighbor-to-neighbor engagement. Tonight’s gathering is free and open to the public, and no RSVP is required.
In a phone interview with Habersham News regarding his appearance this evening, Couvillon remarked, “I look forward to meeting the people of Habersham County, letting them get to know me, what I’m all about – and why I’m running for congress.”
During his remarks, Couvillon is expected to highlight:
- The role of regional cooperation in strengthening Northeast Georgia,
- His experience managing growth and economic development in Gainesville,
- His goals for transportation, infrastructure, and public safety investment, and his approach to leadership and representation at the state level.
