LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am a Republican that endorsed Parker Wiseman for mayor early on in the Democratic Primary. I proudly continue to support him through the general election. I made my decision to support Parker early on because of his vision to lead Starkville forward. Parker’s platform that he has put in place is built around making the City of Starkville the best it can be. Parker’s land-use policy will ensure Starkville’s undeveloped land develops in a way that is attractive and economically friendly. Parker also has a plan in place to improve our streets and keep them in good condition and not just maintain them in the deteriorating condition they are in now. Parker has made a commitment to public safety by saying enough is enough and stop talking about building a new municipal complex and get it done. I agree with Parker’s long term plan to ensure city services accommodate the growth of our city. I also agree with his recognition that growing our tax base will be the keystone to our future success as a city.
I am and will remain a devoted member of the Republican Party. My support for Parker is based on one thing and one thing only – he is the most qualified person to do the job of Mayor of Starkville. When Parker talks about land-use planning and capital planning, it’s not just because it sounds good. It’s because he knows implementing such practices are the building blocks to allowing Starkville to reach its potential. He understands that because he was bold enough to travel 600 miles and spend two years at the University of North Carolina School of Government learning what it takes to run a city well. We are blessed to have one of our own who has gone out and trained in the innovative practices proven to make local government work better. Furthermore, we are blessed that he cares enough about his hometown to bring us the world class skill set that he worked hard to develop.
On Tuesday, June 2nd, I’m putting person over party. I’m voting for Parker Wiseman because he is the most qualified candidate to lead our city forward.
Sincerely,
Ricky Bishop
