I am writing in support of the candidacies of Dick Gee, Chris Howley and Bob Spalding for Signal Mountain Town Council.
I feel it is time for a change in the leadership of this town. This change began four years ago with the election of Dick Gee. Dick has served our town well. He is an independent voice who doesn’t blindly follow any one faction, but seeks the advice of input of a wide variety of citizens in making decisions. He has been active in many local activities from Signal Crest UMC to the SM Playhouse and knows our citizens well. He should continue on the council.
Chris Howley is a successful businessman with a strong knowledge of budgets and finance. He has already studied our town’s budget extensively. He is also active in the community as the father of four children, volunteering extensively in youth sports and also the High School Theater Boosters organization. He has served on the town’s Design Review Commission and is currently on the Recreation Board. Chris would be an outstanding addition to our town council
Dr. Bob Spalding is a local business owner and knows the problems that businesses have with our town’s excessive bureaucracy and regulations. He is a lifelong resident of Signal Mountain and has been extensively involved in our community as a founding board member of WRES, a reserve office of the Sheriff’s Department and through volunteering his home and property for the Monster Barn to raise funds for charitable groups. Bob is very excited to help our businesses be successful.
Please vote on Nov. 4 for Gee, Howley and Spalding to give us the integrity and experience on our Town Council to lead us into our second century.
Paul M. Hendricks, MD
Former Mayor of Signal Mountain
