Chris Anderson Announces Candidacy For Re-Election

  • Saturday, December 10, 2016

Councilman Chris Anderson announced on Saturday that he is officially a candidate for reelection.

 

He said, “I ran for election four years ago to improve the conditions in District 7. We have made great strides and progress but there is still much work to do. Now is the time to continue moving forward, not backward to failed leadership and old policies that didn’t work.

I would be honored to continue

serving my constituents for another four years.”

 

During his tenure on the City Council, Councilman Anderson said he has secured a million dollars in

funding for a new park in Alton Park (slated to open in Spring 2017), brokered a deal that will save Hawkins Ridge in St. Elmo from development, and significantly increased the number of affordable housing units downtown.

 

“Since 2013, District 7 has seen the most capital budget spending every year and has had the

most roads paved. We’ve added playgrounds and parks, trails and traffic calming to every part of

the district. I have developed a reputation as a fighter, but that’s how you get results. I’m proud of

my record of fighting for my constituents.”

 

District 7 includes Alton Park, Downtown, East Lake and St. Elmo. Councilman Anderson was first

elected in March 2013. Election Day is March 7, 2017, and early voting is Feb. 15 through

March 2.
