The July 31 primary will determine Paulding County's next commission chairman—incumbent David Austin or challenger Tony Crowe.
Paulding County’s top race is set to be decided early in this year’s election cycle.

Local and state officials told a packed house on Thursday night that a proposed toll road through Paulding County likely won't happen.
