Chris Simpson:  Hello Worman’s Mill.  My skills for the position of mayor are based on my life experience.  My political background is what I call a media politician.  I have never served in office but have followed local politics like most of you through the papers and radio.  Why did I throw my hat in?  I didn’t see a choice that represented me or my neighbors.  The more someone promises the more I can’t believe.  I want the basics covered - police, trash pickup, streets fixed.  If something else can be afforded let us get it, if not, start saving for it, no borrowing for it.
