Candidate Viability

By Mark E. Henderson

Desiring to collaborate with the community to create a new vision for further improvements in economic development, public safety, and viable expansion of community programs.

Since many of the employees of my city reside in the community, as a seated councilman I will work in the best interest of the employees to ensure that they are properly compensated and have the appropriate level of resources to safely, competently, and efficiently perform their tasks. Secondly, I am the most viable candidate because I have worked in the public sector my entire professional career. I understand the local governmental structure and the importance of the role of elected leadership to collaborate positively with administrative and staff leadership to create a thriving workplace for all.

I have a strong comprehension of the public budgeting processes, operations, and can analytically assess information that is provided to promote the best possible outcome without any political acrimony. I have the most viable campaign because the necessary relationships have been created within my diverse campaign team comprising of community and clergy leaders, business professionals, labor representatives, and elected officials. With this group we have been able to design an attainable visionary campaign, with reachable goals that will address the needs of economic development, public safety, and expansion of service programs. All the aforementioned factors will indeed lead to community improvements.
