November's NLR Electoral Table is Set

With the candidate filing deadline date having been reached last Tuesday, noon the NLR Electoral Table is now set. Below is a complete list of candidates filing for the position of the Mayor's chair as well as the four City Council Alderman chairs up for election in November. We of NLAN recognize that when sensitive issues affecting our quality of life are introduced and read before our NLR City Council it is extremely important to us who is sitting in all nine chairs of the Council! This concern presents itself both when we monitor someone else's legislation and when we are introducing our own. While there may now be four established geographical ward boundaries in place that serve to separate we citizens from one another (each being represented in Council by their very own two elected Aldermen) today we must acknowledge that we are indeed all in this together, that there should be no boundaries restricting our relationships with fellow citizens in Wards 1, 2, and 3. Thus those elected to serve as representatives in those three wards are as important to us as is our very own Ward 4 elected representatives. Although we can not directly affect the elections in Wards 1, 2, and 3 via our vote NLAN Members can still take a keen interest in their candidates and offer non-voter support wherever and whenever we deem it to be appropriate. Below are all candidates listed alphabetically within position, with incumbents in bold print:
MAYOR
James Ard, Patrick Hays, Bill Layman, Bubba Lloyd, Michelle McLelland
ALDERMAN - WARD 1
Neil Bryant, Beth White
ALDERMAN - WARD 2
Rev. Lamont Dotson, Tom Jones, Scott Miller, Maurice Taylor
ALDERMAN - WARD 3
James Ard, Sam Baggett, Steve Baxter, Bruce Foutch, John Parker
ALDERMAN - WARD 4 (This is NLAN's Ward)
Charlie Hight
This coming November 4th cast an informed vote for your candidates. Its your choice, and your freedom to do so!
