"I have enjoyed serving you, the residents of Hendersonville, during my first term and want to serve you for four more years. I will continue to have an open mind in addressing the challenges facing City Council. My wife and I love working, living and raising our three children in the Hendersonville community. I look forward to meeting with many of you during my campaign as we work together to preserve and grow our wonderful hometown."
