DEAR SOUTHAVEN…

What a ride this has been!  In 2013, I made the decision for the first time in my life to enter the world of public service.  I had never held an elected office before and honestly, never had any political aspirations.  I sincerely offered myself to you to help our city that was in the midst of some serious problems.  You chose me to be your Mayor and we quickly moved past those problems and brought back our great name by restoring trust with unparalleled transparency.  With your support and along with our Board and team, my business-minded, sound financial managerial approach has proven to serve us well.

During the last eight years, I’ve worked extremely hard for you to make you proud!  It’s so rewarding for me to report to you that our city is thriving in every way!  We are enjoying tremendous success right now with all the vital signs for continued success.  read full letter
