I am running for the
office of City Commis-
sioner of Jacksboro. I
graduated from Jacksboro
High School in 1%8 and
obtained my degree in
Pharmacy at the Univer-
sity of Texas in 1973. I
am 26 years old and have
lived in Jacksboro since
my graduation from U.T.
In the four years that
I have been back in Jacks-
boro. I have practiced Phar-
macy at the City Drug
Store,and have worked
closely with our hospital
jind both nursing homes. I
as (he charted president
.£ the Jacksboro Jaycees
_ fd currently vice presi-
dent at the Ex Students
Association.
Though I am young in
years. I believe that I
have the ability and the
experience to serve on the
City Council of Jacksboro.
There are many pressing
issues which are going to
require the immediate at-
tention of the newly elec-
ted council. Each of these
issues iire going to require
extensive study and de-
libcratioh by each member
of the City Council. These
decisions and actions by
your City Council are going
to be very important and
are going to effect the fu-
ture of Jacksboro for many
years to come. These pro-
blems and the solutions
to these problems are much
more varied and complex
today than they have
ever been before. This, I
believe, is due to the in-
creased complexity of our
society, our state govern-
ment and our federal gover-
nment. I further believe
that Jacksboro has out-
grown its current form of
government of 2 commis-
sioners and the Mayor and
I thoroughly support the
passage of the referen-
dum establishing a city
government of five alder-
men and the Mayor. A
city government of this
form would be much better
equipped to handle the
many issues confronting
Jacksboro today. I believe
tit five city councilmcn
the Mayor could do a
