Running to see projects completed

| November 3, 2011 7:57 AM

I am running for the office of Bonners Ferry city councilman. My name will be on the ballot. 

Between the time I filed my petition of candidacy and the election, my wife and I the made the decision to move to a new residence. That new residence is outside of the city limits. I have not yet purchased the property and won’t until my present residence sells.

I don’t know how long that will take but considering the real estate market, might take a while. 

I felt out of proper respect to my supporters to be honest about my future plans. I do not want anyone voting for me with the expectation that I will serve the four-year term. I will be disqualified from serving as soon as I sell and purchase my new residence.

Having cleared the air on all of the above, I now address the pending election. I have enjoyed being your councilman and will continue to serve you faithfully.  There are many projects in process that I would like to see completed.

In reviewing the slate of candidates, I am concerned. Connie Wells, incumbent councilman (councilwoman), is qualified and experienced. She is a very good choice.  Sadly I believe I am the next best choice even though I will not be able to complete my term. If you agree, cast your vote for Chris Clark for councilman. I will serve you faithfully for as long as I am legally able. 

Chris Clark
