“Being mayor is not just a hobby for me,” he said. “Itg has become a part of my life and my family’s life. We all take pride and joy in being able to serve all of the residents in the town of Silverhill.”

I am here for all of the residents of Silverhill. I wish nothing but to keep Silverhill ‘A Good Place to Live.’”
