Dear Friends and Wheeler neighbors,
As some of you may know I will not be seeking re-election as your mayor this November. But, my heart and mind will always be thinking about our fair city. I want to do what I can to ensure a bright future for Wheeler. To that end I am enthusiastically endorsing Mary Leverette for City Council. She is a dedicated volunteer for our city and has proven her devotion and value through thousands of hours of service.
Mary has attended almost every Council meeting over the past two years. She listens and asks critical questions. She asks for clarification of difficult issues. For three years she has coordinated the Annual Wheeler Cleanup Day — it’s no small feat lining up haulers and volunteers to make the effort a success.
Mary is also on the City’s Emergency Preparedness Committee. She recently held a number of meetings to familiarize neighbors with the local emergency supplies and to inspire us to begin setting up our own emergency plans. The meetings had a greater goal: to urge neighbors to get to know one another — surely a good thing to do in any circumstance.
Mary is working hard to create community and unity. She will be an advocate for Wheeler. She will work to understand the challenging issues. She will make her voice heard when questions need to be asked. I trust that she will work to make Wheeler a better, safer place to live, work and visit.
I’m voting for Mary Leverette for Wheeler City Council, and I humbly ask you to join me. Let’s make sure Wheeler is in good hands.
Clif Kemp, Mayor of the City of Wheeler
