Snellville City Councilman and Mayor Pro-Tem today announced his campaign for Mayor.
Councilman Witts was first elected to the Snellville City Council in 2009.
The Election for Mayor will take place in November 2015.
“I am excited today to put myself forward as a candidate for Mayor. I am running because I believe in Snellville—all that we are and all that we can be. When I first ran for office in 2009 I said I was committed to making sure Snellville is a place where everybody is proud to be somebody. We have done that, and now more than ever, I am determined to keep it that way,” said Witts in his announcement.
“Over the last 5 years, I have worked hard to make our city even better, and we have seen a lot of success. We have renewed a sense of community with events like the Farmers’ Market and the community events on the green. We have attracted dozens of new businesses and jobs, lowered property taxes for the last four years, and we completed the Veteran’s Memorial, a project that is closest to my heart. But there is more work to be done. I will bring the same amount of enthusiasm and determination to the Towne Center project that I did to complete the Memorial if I am fortunate enough to become the next Mayor of Snellville. This will continue to build our sense of community, attract business and keep our taxes low.”
“I am asking the people of Snellville for their support in this campaign because together, with real leadership and clear vision, we can take Snellville to new levels of success and prosperity,” continued Wiits.
