Election Time!!!

It's finally here! Tomorrow, we'll go to the polls to elect Guin's future leaders. Please remember how important this election is to our city's future. This is a critical time for our region given the expected growth along I-22 and it's imperative we elect those people who will carry us forward and give us the opportunity for success. I know the weather is expected to be less than perfect, but please make an effort to get out and voice your opinion through your vote.

It has been fun to watch the polls on the right side of my site to see how readers expect to vote in tomorrow's election. Of course, none of this data is scientific and the election could turn out totally different than what the polls say, especially given our 7-vote system of electing a city council. It will be interesting, though, to see how the polls correlate to the election and if my readership is a good representation of people in our community. There are a few hours left to vote in my poll, but if the election were to go as the readers of this site predict, the following people would sit on our city government for the next four years:

Mayor:
Phil Segraves

City Council:
Bobby Bellew
Phillip Garrison
Mineo Lindsey
Elaine Junkin
Bill Green
Cerell Metcalf
Steve Lolley

Finally, I hope you've found this blog to be informative and a way to follow the activities of your city government. If elected, I do plan to continue using this as a way to not only inform the community of issues facing our city, but as a way of also gaining input from our citizens on those very same issues. I feel that I've proven myself to be a forward thinker and one who is willing to make the tough decisions to move Guin forward. So, as you go to the polls tomorrow, I respectfully ask for you vote and support for another four years on your city council. If you have questions for me before the election, feel free to post a comment publicly or email me privately at bobbybellew@gmail.com. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

One more note: I'll be at City Hall as the results of the election are posted tomorrow. As soon as I get the results, I will post them here. The polls close at 7, so expect results sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 P.M.
