It is with great pleasure that I, Penny Walker, announce my candidacy as Mayor of the Town of Stonewall, in the upcoming election.
After serving our community, in several different aspects for over 30 years, I am confident in my ability to perform the duties required of the position.
Serving as Stonewall’s clerk and court clerk for 10 years, I became well acquainted with the needs of our community. As I maintained records, prepared agendas, coordinated elections and prepared the city budget, I took mental note of how each decision affected the community and people that I love. Those 10 years were followed by another 10 years serving the town of Enterprise in the same capacity. For the last 11 years, I have served our community at the Clarke County Tax Collectors office where I have interacted with you, the people, daily.
As a lifetime resident of Clarke County, I take pride in doing my part to meet the needs of the people who make up this place I call home.
If elected mayor, my top priority will be restoring and maintaining our town to the safe and flourishing community that I remember as a child. In efforts to do that, I vow to listen to the needs and concerns of the people.
I acknowledge the fact that safety is a concern of our citizens in which I plan to implement routine patrolling of our streets to help combat this concern.
I will put my focus on finding and obtaining grants available to help ensure that our community not only has the financial resources needed to run effectively but also to help clean and protect its historical value.
I look forward to engaging with the community during the election process as efforts to obtain the vision are already underway.
This announcement is only possible due to the support that I have received from family and friends throughout the years.
