Cleophus King announces

Cleophus King has announced his intention to run for Bessemer City Council district 7 with the creation of a facebook fan page where he has listed some of his priorities for the city and the district.



District 7 includes my neighborhood as well as other areas including Jonesboro.


Here are some highlights of his priorities:

• Support neighborhood beautification and revitalization of downtown district.
  
• Stimulate economic growth in under served areas in the city.
• Seek to develop a more effective relationship with school board officials to provide our youth with keys to success, implement things that will cultivate their talents for a higher education.
• Fight for better police protection in our neighborhoods.
• Expand the neighborhood watch program all over district seven.
• Hold district meetings to ensure Pubic Safety is Priority One.

I have spoken with Cleophus about his candidacy and about working with the current or future leadership in the city. I plan to meet with him to learn more specifics about the issues.
