Loyal Wooldridge announced his intention to throw his hat into the ring for the upcoming civic election.

Wooldridge is the CEO of Loyal Hair and creator of the award-winning anti-bullying and empowerment campaign I Am Me. He announced his intentions at a private event in front of 200 people at Sandhill Wines Wednesday night.

鈥淢y mission is to encourage a comprehensive complete community that embraces sustainable, responsible advancement with fiscal responsibility and social support.鈥�

Wooldridge said having worked closely with not for profit and business leaders, he has seen the struggles both sides face. 鈥淚t鈥檚 time for our fiscal excellence be balanced with a social conscience. I can use my experience to fuse both a business mind with a social heart,鈥� he said.

Wooldridge said he鈥檚 been researching the role, attending council meetings and speaking with community stakeholders and there are over-arching issues that continually rise to the top. Those are housing affordability and accessibility, transportation solutions, tourism and jobs and ensuring we have a complete community that supports all of our residents,鈥� he said, adding 琉璃神社 is at a critical point in time.

鈥淥ur city is seeing growth that is not expected to slow down in the near future. We need progressive leaders who will meet challenges head-on while encouraging a comprehensive complete community and a vibrant economy.鈥�

Although he鈥檚 announced his intent to run, it鈥檚 not yet possible to actually become a candidate as nomination papers have yet to be released.
