Williams Thanks Citizens for Support

November 7, 2018 By Dick Cook and Contributed Article 0 Comments

To the citizens of East Ridge, I am so honored to have your overwhelming support and confidence as your next Mayor. I want to thank everyone that voted for me as well as contributed and supported me throughout my campaign. I want to congratulate Jacky Cagle and Mike Chauncey on their wins for city council. I want to also thank every candidate for their willingness and offering their service to our city. It was a pleasure to meet the new candidates and spending time getting to know all the candidates better.

I personally would like to thank Jim Bethune for his willingness to serve our city and running a good campaign.

I am excited to begin working with the new council to continue to move our great city forward. I am looking forward to what we can do in the next four years.

Thank you,

_ Brian Williams
