A  Vision for Pineville

2026

Do I Believe in City Government?

Should it exist?

I believe it should!

  • Actually forms of government were first recognized back in the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament.

  • I believe when the government of any form is done right it is seen as an example.

  1. To others of how it is done.

  2. It leaves a good legacy for the next generation.

  3. It conforms moral and ethical standards we need as a society to live by.

I want to…

  • Collaborate with other City Council members and the Mayor to create a vision for future growth and development of our city

  • Cast vision for creative ways to grow businesses and introduce those ideas to the community for their support
