Think about serving

Time is running out to file for a place on the May 8th ballot for city council or mayor. March 8th is the deadline so if you've ever thought about getting into local government or even if you haven't now is the time. The city has published a FAQ on the city web site to answer any questions.

I personally can't state strongly enough the pleasure I've had in serving the people of Joshua since last June and the enjoyment I've gained from learning about the function of our government. The opportunities I've had already to get to know other officials and to begin to influence legislation and the shaping of our local area and the state have been very rewarding. The job is what you make of it and the opportunities to get more deeply involved are there. It's the participation of more people that makes our system of government so great and so effective.

It takes time and you don't get paid, but it certainly has it's rewards. I'd be glad to have a conversation with anyone considering a run. Give me a call.
