Lasseter won't seek second term

Gwinnett County Commissioner Shirley Lasseter has decided not to seek re-election.

Lasseter, who represents District 1, said recent health problems contributed to her decision not to seek another term. She was elected to the post in 2008.

Two candidates have announced they will seek the District 1 commission seat: Suwanee City Councilman Jace Brooks and Duluth accountant Laurie McClain. Both, like Lasseter, are Republicans.
