When Mark Culver first ran for office, he didn’t intend for it to become his life. In fact, he hadn’t given running for office much thought at all.
“I was 29 years old when I qualified; I had no intentions,” Culver said. “I just wanted to make it to the next day.”
Thirty-six years later, he has no regrets. There are some things he might have done differently, but nothing he regrets. Culver said spending that long in elected office requires the right temperament, especially when it comes to handling criticism – and a lot of it. “We are the governing body of Houston County; we represent the citizens of Houston County,” Culver said. “We transact the business of Houston County … We don’t need to get up there and embarrass our citizens and we don’t need to let anybody else embarrass our citizens.”
