In an email sent to Home in Henderson yesterday evening, local government watchdog Lewis Edwards announced that he will seek Henderson City Council member Mike Rainey’s Ward 2 seat in October.
In explaining his reasons for his candidacy, Edwards also wrote:
I hope to represent ALL the citizens in Henderson in a honest manner with all votes cast after considering – input from citizens, research, fact finding reviews – what will be best for Henderson, today, next year and 5 years into the future.
My greatest focus will be on crime reduction and returning our local government to a solid financial state with complete fiscal responsibility being not only exercised but required at all levels.
Edwards plans to file at 9:00 a.m. this morning.
