Candidate: Danny Jones
Education: High school diploma
Qualifications: small business owner, former city council member
Background: Danny Jones relocated to our town as a child when his father was
stationed at a nearby air force base. Danny was a star football player in high
school, but an injury forced him to change course. Instead of attending college,
Danny started his own chain of retail stores selling arts and crafts supplies. He
began with one small shop, but his business now operates thirteen stores in three
different cities. He has served two terms as a member of the city council.
Policy Statement: “Education and crime control are both important, but our
town’s tax base depends on a healthy economy. My own company’s shipping hub is
located here. The cost of maintaining our trucks is higher than it should be because
of poor road and bridge conditions. I am not the only business owner facing this
problem. If we do not do something to address it, local businesses may start to
move elsewhere. That would cost us jobs and reduce tax revenue, which would hurt
our schools and the police department. For these reasons, if elected, I will ask the
city council to allocate half of our available funds to improving our roads and
bridges. The remaining half would be split equally between the schools and the
police department.”
