I have the experience that will bring Electra into
the future. We need civic pride and responsibility
to show everyone what a great little town we have
and what a pleasure it is to live here. Maggie and
I take great pride in calling Electra our home.

I take great pride in living in Eiectra and having great friends that also call
it home. We have a city to be proud of: we have the best doctors and hospital
around, an excellent school district and many thriving businesses in town.
Our library is such an asset to our town and the youth of Electra. I have
always believed that we need a city administrator to oversee our town and I
strongly support Steve Giesbrecht. Since he has been an employee for the
City of Electra, we have a greater vision, we have a reliable water source,
we have money in the bank and have been able to do things for the city and
buy vital equipment for our employees that we desperately needed. Our city
employees work in all kinds of weather and conditions and we should be
very proud of all their hard work. We have always needed a strong police
chief and Johnny Morris and the police department have done a good job for
our small town. I might not always agree with everything Steve or Johnny say
or do but they have served our city well. The Volunteer Fire Department and
our firemen under the leadership of Greg Lynn, have done an awesome job
in taking care of our town. I remember the days when we were without a City
Adminstrator and the commissioners were in charge of the different
departments and it just did not work; we are not skilled in those areas and
these men are.
Dr. Tom DeLizio will be a valuable asset to our city as mayor. He will be a
great leader and a great representative for this community. I look forward to
having the chance to be able to work with him again.
GENEALOGY enthusiasts meet at Electra Public Library with Joyce Meeks and
Librarian Terry Holbert. A second meeting has been set for May 14 by the group.
