To the Editor:

I am writing to express my support for the re-election of Gavin Brown as mayor for Waynesville. I don’t reside in the Waynesville voting district but I have known Mayor Brown for many years and have witnessed his leadership during my professional career. He encourages open dialogue and new ideas, inspires harmony in working with colleagues, and provides direction in areas of economic development.

I believe he will continue to uphold the integrity of all Waynesville’s commercial districts while promoting growth and preserving the unique character of each.

Mayor Brown brings a lifelong passion for his hometown and with that a sincere desire to do his best in serving the people of Waynesville.
