Dollar For Mayor.

It makes more sense than ever.

 

The difference is in the details — and the doing.

On a personal level politics can be stressful — my opponent in the runoff election is someone I like and respect. Jeff McLaughlin is a good person, and we actually don’t differ that much on priorities for our city. The difference is in the doing.

Plans are important, and Guntersville has been working a solid plan during my time as mayor. The results are tangible, visible and everywhere you look. From City Harbor and fantastic new ballfields to major infrastructure and public safety upgrades, the list is extensive. And it has all been done with smart financial management that keeps City debt well below state-prescribed limits. In fact, Guntersville’s cash reserves are the strongest in history, adding another level of financial stability to the Lake City.

 As we approach September 23, I encourage everyone to vote. I also encourage you to read the campaign ads* and social media for both candidates. I think you’ll see a difference between the results of good planning versus general ideas without specific recommendations. The proof is in the doing, and I hope you will allow me the privilege of serving as mayor again to keep things moving.

 
Thank You,

2018 Women Who Shape the State

Here’s what a plan looks like in action.

As mayor for the past 13 years, I am proud of Guntersville’s success. But that success illuminates the need for managed growth, and I will continue the focus on preserving quality of life for all residents. Our beautiful Lake City has much to be proud of. But there’s still work to be done, and I respectfully ask for your vote on September 23rd.

Here are a few results of smart planning.

- Sound finances, clean audits and increased revenues every year since 2012.

- City Harbor and other world-class tourism resources.

- Conners Island Business Park virtually full with JST announcement.

- ACE Aeronautics Black Hawk program at Airport nearing 200 employees.

- Excellent facilities including completion of new high school and Veterans Park.

- Efficient, responsive City services plus state-of-the-art Recycling Center.

- Well-planned infrastructure and street paving program.

- Extensive Parks & Rec upgrade program with major additional projects coming.

- Under-the-bridge walking trail to City Harbor completed.

- Top-notch horticulture and beautification program.
