•Personal message: I am a member of the Clanton City Council representing the people of District 5. Since I was elected to office in 2000, I completed 80 hours of training from Alabama League of Cities to become a Certified Municipal Official and an Advanced Certified Municipal Official. I am active in the community serving on the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a member of Chilton County United Way Board and director of First Baptist Church Weekday Education. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in all of these capacities, especially as city council member. Since being elected, I have seen many goals reached for our city but feel there are many more things to be done. Thank you District 5 and the city of Clanton for allowing me to serve you. I look forward to the next four years representing you as your council member.
