Current
city Councilman and former Council President is making his run for mayor. The
name Ephraim is no stranger to Prichard politics.
 |
| Councilman Troy Ephriam |
The
councilman has laid out a detail and focused platform to deal with Prichard failing
programs.
Ephraim’s
campaign focuses on establishing a new Prichard government and a plan to
address the social-economic problems which have historically plagued the
City.
Councilman
Ephriam says his platform will especially address far ranging issues that are
concerns of the citizens through a comprehensive 5- year strategic plan that
will involve input from residents and professionals in finance, economics
and community revitalization.
Ephriam
further states that his experience with the inner workings of City government
over the past 12 years will prove invaluable and will enable him to take
immediate corrective measures to address the City’s vanishing economy and
ongoing bankruptcy and pension fund obligations.
“It’s
time for serious leadership to face the problems of Prichard with sound
planning and dogged resolve. The key to moving our City forward will
depend on strategically marketing the City’s land base and its’ tax incentives
to attract business and economic development.”
The
election for Mayor and Council will be held on Tuesday, August 28, 2012.
Ephraim will face off against the incumbent Ron Davis, former Mayor Charles
Harden, community activist Severa Campbell-Morris, and Teresa Fox-Bettis.
