Questions From The Community | Johnny for Mayor

Where in Kress do you live and how long?

I have lived in Kress about 5 yrs. I bought a house at 311 Paul Street that I lived in until my mother got sick and wanted to move to Kress to be near her son. I let her move into that house then I moved into 204 West 6th Street that I bought. I understand it was vacant over 15 years- a massive eye sore before I remodeled it to also help Kress look better. We lost my mother a few months back so it is now vacant. I am a work acholic and I work a lot. I park in the back of the house. I typically drive a company demo. Some people say I am never home because they don't see a car parked in front. . I go home every night.

Have you ever voted in an election in Swisher County.

I also have a home in Amarillo that my voters registration was tied to until recently. I do vote. My momma always said that if you don't vote you can't complain about the issues.

When was the last time you have attended Any Kress or City of Kress events.

I am a GM of a dealership that has bought space on the sports media in Kress when approached. My partner and I have offered to help the city with the animal control issues in Kress. We have offered to pay for anyone that wanted their pets spaded or neutered. The city seems to not be interested in other people getting involved to help the city. I have had many people complain to me that the city refuses to let them attend city council open meetings. At this point, it seems difficult to offer help. The people of Kress deserves more input when they want to be involved.

I don't know anyone that knows you. It makes it extremely hard to even think about voting for someone who has no connection to the city that you would like to be mayor of.

I have been to Jeff's restaurant MANY times. Plenty of people know me. I hope many more will soon. I am the most qualified candidate that is running for mayor. I have ran many successful businesses. I am not looking to win on popularity. I am looking to win on qualifying credentials. I have been asked to run for a reason. There are very nice people running the city but nice does not always get the most out of the issues that need to be addressed. The people of Kress deserve more say in how things need to be ran. Things need to be ran by what the law says, not what a select few decide. I am investing in Kress Texas. Kress is a beautiful little community that deserves so much more. Remember, Donald Trump was NEVER in office before he was president.

Questions from the community.

I have heard overheard from a couple of citizens that I was not in the conversation that you don't want an officer of the law nor a fire department?

I have never stated that we don't need either an officer of the law nor a fire department. I have stated that the position needs to be posted an vetted if the citizens of Kress are going to pay for it. There will be a substantial cost that the city should have know about. I also stated the city needs to be transparent of issues that will cost the tax payers. There is a select group that want to cancel me. Please feel free to reach out to me so you can hear my views personally. I would like you to have the facts so you can judge and vote with a clear conscience.

Will you be refusing to let semis park in the City Limits?

I support all self employed and business owners. That is a livelihood for several citizens in Kress. I have not talked to one person that has voiced that issue yet.
