PUBLIC MESSAGE:
Despite these life changing events over the last 12 months and even when the challenges seemed to be overwhelming, the spirit of the American shined bright. On our lowest days, we found hope in the journey and encouraged one another that each day was a day closer to a better day. After all, many of us have those that depend on us each day, like those precious children that Heaven blessed us with. For those who have children we each know, we would battle to the moon and back for them. If you are like Ola and I, from the moment our first child, Amelia, was born we began living our life in preparation for her future. Eight years later, our son, Devin, was born and the same was true with him, our decisions as parents would affect the two of them in some fashion. The older Ola and I become the more we can see it clearly, to create a better future we must understand our decisions are the first stop on the route of life. Our actions today will create the path for tomorrow. We will celebrate our marriage of 22 years this year, a daughter who has turned 20, and our son who is the big 12. Investing in our children is about all we leave for the world; I would call it our gift to our future. As a parent, what we leave behind for them is not the legacy, it is what we put in front of them as they prepare to raise their own family.
Let us give them our very best, I think we can all agree on the subject of “Better”. Where it is fuzzy, and where we may part ways is how we get to “Better”. That is why I have announced my candidacy for Alderman at Large. We have a long road ahead of us Brandon, from our water rates to a mountain of debt and a crumbling infrastructure, it is time we focus on what our children will inherit from our decisions today. Our city taxes have increased 10 mills in less than 8 years, our water rates increased 150% over the last 4 years. I must say if we continue in this direction, our future will inherit nothing more than a loss. Over the next few weeks, we have decisions to make, let’s elect a republican to our board of alderman on April 6th. We need your support, your prayers, and your encouragement.
Vote Eric Fox and let’s “Be Better than Yesterday”.
