Jessie Townes Announces Re-Election Candidacy
From the Sep 17, 2024 e-Edition
I, Jessie Lee Townes, Sr. would like to take this opportunity to formally announce my candidacy for re-election to the McKenzie City Council. I have represented my hometown of the City of McKenzie for the past 12 years and have served as Vice-Mayor for the past 5 years.
I have been employed with EW James & Sons for 46 years and have served as assistant manager in various locations, prior to returning to the McKenzie store. Additionally, I have owned my lawn care service for 30 years where I have taken care of several residents in the McKenzie area and other nearby communities.
I am married to Cheryl Oglesby-Townes, and we have three children: Jessie, Jr., Samantha, and Breonna. I am most proud to be “Papa” to six grandchildren: Serenity, Milania, Emery, Ivy, Ava, and Nova.
If you are not registered to vote, I encourage you to get registered and exercise your rights. Your Vote Does Count!
It has been my pleasure to serve this city, and I look forward to continuing to serve YOU…the People of this community! I humbly ask for your continued support and your vote on November 5!
Thank you!
