Mayor Skip Baliles was elected Mayor in November 2021.
“One of my goals as mayor is to begin healing the wounds and divides that exist in our city regarding the unpopular downtown development attempt,” Baliles said. “Elected officials have lost the confidence of some of our residents, and I want to help fix that.”
Baliles served two terms on the Loganville City Council –from 2012 until 2020 – before a belief in term limits for elected officials saw him not seek a third term. While serving as a councilman, Baliles chaired the council’s Planning and Zoning as well as the Economic Development committees. He touts among his success doing his part to get council approval for the development of the Town Green and redevelopment of the Rock Gym as well as the Ag Building as event venues for the city.
While Baliles did not seek a third term on the city council, he did accept an appointment to the Loganville Development Authority in 2020and currently serves as its chairman. “I think we need to move forward with the type of development for our downtown area that the citizens want,” Baliles said. “I want to make sure that the city continues to begin and finish projects on time and within budget and to focus our efforts on cleaning up our city while at the same time leaving visitors with a good image of Loganville.”
Baliles, an Eden, North Carolina native spent 40 years in various management roles, including as a store manager of Sears and Lowe’s Home Improvement. Baliles moved to Lawrenceville in 1993 and then settled in Loganville in 2005. Upon retirement, Baliles attended council meetings before deciding to seek office for the first time when he ran for the Loganville City Council in 2011. Upon a successful campaign, Baliles took office in 2012 and was one of the first councilmembers to serve a four-year term.
Baliles is married with three children, four grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter.
