Election 2021: Amarillo mayor hopefuls say why they should be elected

Why are you seeking the position of Mayor for the city of Amarillo? I am running to be the Mayor of all residents of Amarillo to not only serve the citizens of this great city, but also represent them. I want to restore transparency and accountability to our local government. If elected, what experience/various qualities would you bring to the position? I am a common sense small business owner who is fiscally conservative, an individual who knows how to work within a budget and an individual who has spent his whole career serving the needs of students and customers. I listen, discuss or analyze the situation, decide on a solution and stick with it. My teaching in the prison system and working with suspended students in the Amarillo Independent School District has put me in contact with people of all societal levels and I work well with all.

First Responders Academy, AmTech projects continue to make progress

The Amarillo City Council recently passed two measures toward the progress of two entities on Plains Boulevard, furthering that part of town as a potential education epicenter.  First, the council passed a resolution supporting the establishment of Amarillo College’s First Responders Academy. This helped start the process of getting federal funds to help with the project through District 13 Congressman Ronny Jackson.  According to previous Globe-News reports, entities are eligible to request federal Community Project Funding from current members of Congress. Organizations that are either a governmental entity or a 501c3 nonprofit, have to meet certain criteria to be eligible for funding for the upcoming fiscal year which include, in Jackson’s case, being based in District 13 and having an impact on its constituents.

Amarillo Arts Institute: Arts in the Sunset continues renovation

On the wall above the exit of the Amarillo Art Institute, which is located in the Arts in the Sunset, the following words are in bold: “We inspire, educate and enrich lives through art. The status of the Arts in the Sunset, which previously housed studio spaces for numerous artists and hosted monthly art walks and exhibitions, has been in limbo since the tenants were vacated in 2019 to help the Crouch Foundation obtain tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and become a nonprofit organization. But with construction and renovations currently occurring at the space, officials with the Amarillo Art Institute are hopeful that the Arts in the Sunset will once again be able to inspire, educate and enrich lives through art on a larger scale.
