Candidate question No. 5

Editor’s Note: The West Alabama Watchman invited the four candidates for mayor of Demopolis to respond to five questions. Two of the candidates — incumbent mayor John Laney and businessman Woody Collins — responded. The Watchman posted one question each day through today and the responses from each candidate.

Today’ question:  If elected, to what extent would you call upon your opponents to work with you in advancing Demopolis?

Collins:  Good volunteers are an asset regardless of what their past political aspirations might have been. I would welcome, solicit, and work with any and all persons willing to work in our community.

Laney: If re-elected I will, as I always have, give our Citizens the opportunity to help the City improve in an area they have an interest.
