CAMPAIGN NEWS

With the right plan, Tallapoosa can once again become a city where businesses want to invest, families want to stay, and taxpayers don’t carry more than their fair share.

It’s time for new leadership that sees the full picture. Leadership that focuses on growth, revitalization, and responsible management of city-owned assets. Leadership that works to make every tax dollar count.

I’ve been talking with residents, business owners, and community leaders. I’ve listened to your frustrations and your hopes. The message is clear: people want real progress, not pricey renderings.

Good growth invests in residents first. It keeps property taxes fair. It celebrates our history instead of rewriting it. It invites businesses that serve the community, not just those that look good on a grant proposal. Tallapoosa doesn’t need to become “the next anything.”We just need to take care of our own.

Together, we can take the ideas that have sat on the shelf and finally turn them into results. Because Tallapoosa deserves leadership that doesn’t just say it’ll get done — but actually does it.

We might not be able to bring back Halloween on Head Avenue this year, but we can start planning for next year. Together, we can make it even better than before—by working with local businesses, churches, civic groups, and volunteers to line the street with pumpkins, music, and laughter once again. Imagine downtown filled with costumed kids, decorated storefronts, and families from all across West Georgia rediscovering the magic of Tallapoosa.

Like our parks, streets, and downtown, the golf course is an asset that belongs to the people of Tallapoosa. And just like those other assets, it deserves real attention from the Mayor and City Council.

Tallapoosa doesn’t just need to preserve its traditions — we need to grow them into opportunities. Our festivals and parades should be more than fun; they should be a core part of our economic strategy. With the right leadership, we can make sure every event, big or small, shines a spotlight on our community and keeps Tallapoosa thriving.

That vision is achievable—but only if the city decides that our people and our parks are worth investing in. Tallapoosa deserves better. Our citizens deserve better. And Helton Howland Park deserves to shine as the community jewel it was always meant to be.

Tallapoosa deserves a mayor who leads from the front, not one who plays catch-up. Leadership is about being proactive — and that’s the kind of leadership I’m offering.

Together, we can deliver the steady, practical leadership Tallapoosa deserves—leadership that listens, solves problems, and puts families first.

Our community is filled with passionate, skilled individuals who deeply care about our city's future. If you are one of these individuals, I strongly encourage you to consider running for one of the two available city council seats. Public service is both an honor and a responsibility, and your involvement could make all the difference in steering Tallapoosa towards a prosperous future.

Our residents and businesses deserve transparency and honesty from our elected officials. Abrupt policy shifts without clear, documented reasoning leave our community uncertain and suspicious of the motivations behind such changes.

If you’ve received a tax bill that feels impossible to manage, you are not alone. I strongly encourage everyone to explore the appeal process—your voice matters. We must also show up at public meetings, speak out, and support one another as neighbors.

It’s time to elect leaders with proven experience in business, economics, and community development. Leaders who have a track record of getting things done. Leaders who will bring transparency, accountability, and fresh ideas to the table.

Together, we can revitalize Tallapoosa, support our local businesses, upgrade our infrastructure, and ensure that our city is a place where families and entrepreneurs alike can thrive.

To the nurses of Tallapoosa: you are seen, you are valued, and you are cherished. From the Glass family to yours, Happy National Nurses Week! This week and always, we honor and celebrate you.

As we look ahead to the upcoming municipal elections this November, it's essential to recognize the pivotal role our City Council plays...

When it comes time to vote, choose the candidate who shares your vision and who will work tirelessly to bring about the changes our community so desperately needs.

The Dogwood Festival is more than just an event; it's a celebration of Tallapoosa's heritage, community spirit, and the beauty of the season
