I encourage everyone to vote for Patricia J. Ricks for Salisbury City Council.

“Pat” is a hardworking, compassionate person who serves her community in many ways. She serves on the planning board and civic boards such as Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Rowan Public Library and Rowan Helping Ministries. She is a strong advocate of living healthy and works to bring health-related information to the community, particularly those areas where access to information is limited.

She has a strong belief in the worth and equality of all people and has volunteered countless hours teaching and advocating for persons who need assistance in turning their lives around. She will work hard to improve the city’s economy and equally hard to make sure all members of the community benefit.
