Hello, my name is Thearon Hooks Jr and I too am a candidate for Stokesdale TC. I have several issues that I feel are important to Stokesdale and I would love to hear what you concerns are. I ran for TC in 2005 and have learned alot about what is important to our Town. Please let me know your thoughts. |

Welcome to the forum, Mr. Hooks! I'd like to know what you think qualifies you to be a Town Council member. How do you know what town issues are? How do you get your information and make your decisions? Thanks. |

An important element of this is the preservation of the values that are in place here. I feel that my participation in civic activities has given me insight into that heritage and listening to what people feel are the needs of the Town has given me the decision making capability that will make me a good, sound Council member. An important factor in being a representative of the people is to listen to all of the people in all areas of our Town. Allow me to add that membership on the Long Range Financial Planning Committee has given me great insight into what the folks in the Town consider to be some of the important factors in their lives.

Thanks Jim for the kind words. I have indeed learned from the last election. The Town has changed since '05 and we need to pay attention to those changes. My thoughts on the present TC are that they have made some good decisions in the right direction, but I feel that we need to expect the unexpected. The surrounding towns are growing by leeps and bounds and some of that growth is taking away from the traditions of those towns. I feel that we need to look in a much broader sense so that growth is accomplished with services and resources that are complimentary to S'dale. I have nothing personally to gain except a feeling of doing what is right. I do not go into this campaign owing anyone and I expect to serve everyone. I have several areas that I see as topics that affect the town both presently and in the future that I will discuss during the campaign. Thanks again for the support.
