Aaron Smith Gatesville City Council candidate

Posted

Aaron Smith has authorized The Gatesville Messenger to announce his candidacy for the office of Gatesville City Council in the upcoming Nov. 8 elections.

I am enthusiastically running for the position of Gatesville City Council, Ward 1 Place 2, in the upcoming local elections. Being born and raised in Gatesville gives me a strong familiarity with the townspeople, city workers and the town infrastructure. I have long-standing roots here, including my parents, Lewis and Eloise Smith, dating back many generations. Over the years my family members have been involved with town politics and entrepreneurship which has led to a community friendship with Gatesville for over 150 years.

I proudly served my country in the Marine Corps and am now committed to serving the community of Gatesville. Currently, I am providing support to our armed forces as a supervisory military contractor on North Fort Hood and have been at this post for 13 years. My wife, Shelly, serves our community as a sonographer and radiologic technologist in the imaging department at Coryell Health.

This is my first time in the political arena and is not necessarily an avenue I ever thought to explore until recently, due to an overwhelming sense of duty to my community and fellow citizens. Priorities that will be addressed, once elected, will focus on street maintenance, water system improvements, crime prevention and drug rehabilitation. I will do my part to make sure Gatesville becomes more small-business friendly, while still maintaining traditional family values and keeping the "small town" feel. Decisions will always be based on ethics and integrity.

I am asking you to put your faith in me as your local conservative voice. Please cast your vote for Aaron Smith for Gatesville City Council. Thank you for your time and God bless!
