Letter to the Editor

On Tuesday my campaign ended and I was voted in as the new City Council representative for District 4 in Milledgeville. This district encompasses an area in which many students live, work, study and play. What happens in the next few years in city government will likely have a major effect on all students in one way or another.

As I prepare to take office, I will need input and ideas from GCSU students, faculty and staff. GCSU is my alma mater and I have an incredible amount of love and respect for both the university as an institution and the individuals who make it a special place. I encourage all of you to stay involved in your local government and I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns about how you are being represented. A campaign victory is only the beginning of this journey, with the ultimate goal being to serve you faithfully and diligently.

I would like to specifically thank some organizations on campus who allowed me to visit with them and speak to them over the past two months: Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Phi, members of the Student Government Association, Young Democrats, College Republicans, as well as the countless individual students who I spoke with during this process. I would also like to specifically thank Claire Cantrell who served as the student liason to my campaign.

GCSU students, you should be very proud. You have directly affected your local goverment. That speaks volumes to your character and hopefully it will serve notice to the entire community that you want to be involved in the direction of our city and that you want to be heard. I am grateful and humbled by your support during this process. I thank all of you and look forward to a continued positive relationship with you.

Sincerely,

Phillip Joiner
