There was never any doubt entering the Thursday, Aug. 5, County General Election that Shannon Wix would be elected to County Commission District 1.

Wix ran unopposed and received 202 votes.

Wix replaces outgoing long-term commissioner Billy Bransford, who currently holds the seat but did not seek reelection.

Wix is the son of Buford and Pam Wix and Erma Nell Wix. He is married Tara Taylor Wix, who is the daughter of Keith and Elaine Taylor.

Lifelong Macon County residents, Wix and his wife have three children, Owen, Dalten and Grace.

Wix campaigned to help bring jobs to Macon County. He worked out of town for 10 years and said prior to the election that he realizes the time lost community back and forth to work.

Wix doesn't work out of town anymore. Instead, he returned to the family farm and also works as a crop insurance adjuster.

"My goal is to see that our community can grow and prosper so that our people can have a choice," Wix previously stated.
