Gary Laggis, Mayor- Gary and his wife Pam moved to Woolsey from Clayton County in 1985 and he was elected Mayor in 1988. Early in his term as Mayor, Gary and the Town Council helped put in place Woolsey’s first planning and zoning regulations to assure the towns development would maintain it’s rural and pastoral appeal. Like many of Woolsey’s residents, the historic small town and open area community lifestyle was what initially drew his family here and which they have come to value over the years. Gary retired from BB&T Insurance Services in 2014 after 38 years as an Agency Owner and Manager.

Kenny Wright, Councilman- Kenny and his wife Donna have lived in Fayette County since 1984. Seeking life in a more rural area, they built a house in Woolsey and moved here in 2002. The quietness and simplicity of the community is what brought them here and has kept them here. Kenny retired from the Fulton County Fire Department in 1999. After retirement, he opened a private investigation business conducting fire investigations throughout the Southeast. Kenny is proud to say that his business is based in Woolsey out of the original Woolsey Fire Station. In 2005 he was elected to the Town Council. His desire then, now and for the future is to maintain the “small town atmosphere” of Woolsey.
