I want to go on record as endorsing Tony Hillian for the office of mayor in East Spencer.

Tony has worked effectively in the alderman position for the past two years. During this time, activities sponsored in the town of East Spencer have tripled.

He brings excellent credentials to this position, with a master’s degree from Strayer University and a bachelor’s from Shaw University.

He also has experience running a nonprofit organization and extensive work in the community.

As a resident of East Spencer, I have seen the change that he has brought to East Spencer. In order for East Spencer to move forward, we need someone who is going to bring change. The other candidate has talked about change, but change did not happen until Tony became an alderman.

As mayor, Tony will be able to bring more positive changes to the city, which we need. He is honest, reliable and willing to work the long hours needed for the position. I believe Tony is the person best qualified to be the next mayor of East Spencer.
