Pam Fitch For Mayor

Pam Fitch

by Pam Fitch

     A lot of people have asked me why I decided to run for Mayor. If I could sum up the answer in one word, it would be PROGRESS. I love this community, and, like you, I want it to grow and flourish to its full potential.

     Our city is blessed with a rich history, diverse economy and abundant natural resources. We have the opportunity to be a model city, but achieving that goal takes vision and leadership. I believe I can provide both. A few of my top priorities include:

• Saving taxpayers money by eliminating wasteful spending while opposing property tax and water rate increases.

• Preserving and protecting our neighborhoods by improving code enforcement and maintaining appropriate zoning.

• Promoting economic growth by ensuring policies are small business friendly and don’t unfairly favor one business over another.

• Encouraging openness and transparency in city government by maximizing citizen involvement in the decision making process.

     If we continue to do the same thing over and over again, we will continue to get more of the same—more tax increases, more water rate increases, and more unjustified tax abatements. It’s time for new leadership.

     I have 10 years of public sector work experience, including eight years as director of the Nacogdoches CVB and two years in senior management for the City of Lubbock (population 220,000). Through these positions, I have been involved in every aspect of local government operations, from budgeting to crisis management.

     In 2008, my family returned to Nacogdoches and opened Jack Backers College Bookstore. My husband and I built the business from the ground up. Our business model was simple—keep costs low and provide superior customer service. I believe this philosophy can also be applied at the local government level.

     With your support, I truly believe our community can make great strides forward. But I need your help! Please cast your vote for Pam Fitch for Mayor. Early voting begins May 2 at the C.L. Simon Recreation Center. Election day is May 14 at TJR Elementary School.
