April 2018
WORLD CHAMPS x2!
By Terry Bondurant
Last month, The
View
38002
contacted
the
candidates
running
for
selected county
offices—County
Mayor, Sheriff, and
County Commissioner for Districts 1
(which
includes
Arlington,
unincorporated NE Shelby County, and
parts of Lakeland north of the
Loosahatchie River) and 3 (which
includes the remainder of Lakeland).
Each candidate was sent the same
instructions. Candidates were limited to
100 words for their candidate statement.
The responses are printed in this edition
starting on page 4 and are unedited,
except for formatting that does not
change the content or intent of the answer
and in cases of excessive length.
At The View 38002, we believe that
educating the public on the election and
candidates helps individuals make
informed decisions. We encourage our
readers to contact the candidates for more
information on their platforms and
campaigns and for that reason we have
included website information for those
candidates who decided not to participate
in our profile.
