As a resident of Columbus for almost 10 years and having served in municipal government 33 years (16 years as mayor of Canton, Mississippi), it is now time for me to speak up.
Columbus has tremendous potential to move forward in every respect. Our citizens deserve excellent police and fire protection, better streets, healthy education opportunities, accountability with city finances and transparency. We need communication and coordination with county government and law enforcement as well as the LINK.
All of this is possible with a team working together under a strong leader.
Join me June 8th as we elect Keith Gaskin, mayor of Columbus, for a positive change for all citizens.
