"When I came to the decision not to make another run for the City Council,
my primary concern was that my seat be filled by a person of experience,
honesty, and integrity. Therefore, I am delighted that Mark Kinion is running
for Ward 2 Alderman. He has all those qualities and will make a fine alderman.
It is without reservation that I endorse Mark. Our city will be made better
by his service and commitment."-Nancy Allen , Ward 2 Alderman, Fayetteville |
