Today we were honored to present a City of Richmond Hill flag to Hyundai MOBIS MNAe to fly proudly above their facility. We are thrilled that they chose Richmond Hill to do business, invest, and grow with our community.

A special thank you to Buck Holly, one of our dedicated Board Members, for taking the initiative to ensure MOBIS MNAe received this flag. His leadership and commitment to supporting our growing community continue to make a meaningful impact.

Welcome again to Richmond Hill, MOBIS MNAe — we’re glad you’re here!

Let’s see where this email goes and who answers. If elected officials and candidates are making bold claims, they should explain their position and how they arrived at their decision?

Subject: Seeking Transparency on Proposed Airport Commission Withdrawal
To: Russ Carpenter , Kristi Cox ([email protected]) , Robbie Ward , , ,

Mayor, Council Members and Airport Authority Members,

As a runoff candidate, I’ve been told by multiple independent sources that Mayor-elect Kristi Cox, Council-elect Cindy Hatala, and runoff candidate Kevin Bowes have publicly stated they intend to introduce a motion to withdraw the city from the Airport Commission if Kevin is elected. That is where transparency is needed.

Before this turns into further noise for voters, I want to know whether this idea has any legal footing. Has the city attorney, outside counsel, or any established precedent confirmed that such an action is legally viable? Or is this being discussed without a formal legal review?

House Bill (H. B. 763) states that "The Richmond Hill-Bryan County Airport Authority shall be composed of 11 members. 45 (b) Seven members shall be appointed by the governing authorities of the County of Bryan 46 and City of Richmond Hill."

44 (a) The Richmond Hill-Bryan County Airport Authority shall be composed of 11 members. 45 (b) Seven members shall be appointed by the governing authorities of the County of Bryan 46 and City of Richmond Hill. Within 60 days after the approval of this Act, it shall be the duty 47 of said governing authorities to appoint the members of the authority to Post No. 1, Post 48 No. 2, Post No. 3, Post No. 4, Post No. 5, Post No. 6, and Post No. 7 as follows: 49 (1) The County Manager of Bryan County or his or her designee shall be appointed to 50 Post No. 1; 51 (2) The City Manager for the City of Richmond Hill or his or her designee shall be 52 appointed to Post No. 2; 53 (3) The members from Post No. 3 and Post No. 5 shall be appointed by the governing 54 authority of Bryan County; 55 (4) The members from Post No. 4 and Post No. 6 shall be appointed by the governing 56 authority of the City of Richmond Hill; and 57 (5) The initial member from Post No. 7 shall be appointed by the governing authority of 58 the City of Richmond Hill; thereafter, such member from Post No. 7 shall be appointed 59 by the governing authority of Bryan County. Future appointments to Post No. 7 shall 60 alternate between the governing authority of the City of Richmond Hill and the governing 61 authority of Bryan County.

I’m asking these individuals directly because residents deserve to know whether this proposal is supported by legitimate legal guidance or if it is being used as a political talking point to drive votes toward one candidate. If it is the latter, it raises real concerns about misleading voters and using fear to influence the outcome of the runoff.

Support Letter for Buck Holly — Richmond Hill City Council

I want to take a moment to express my full support for Buck Holly for Richmond Hill City Council. Buck is not just another candidate — he is someone with proven leadership experience, real-world problem-solving skills, and a long track record of getting things done for our community.

Buck has spent his entire career solving complex challenges in high-pressure environments. He brings the kind of discipline, strategic thinking, and accountability that Richmond Hill needs now more than ever. His professional background is rooted in operations, logistics, budgeting, and strategic planning — experience that translates directly into smart decision-making at City Hall.

What stands out most about Buck is that he doesn’t operate on political agendas or personal favors. He operates on facts, logic, fairness, and fiscal responsibility. Buck has managed teams, balanced budgets, built systems that work, and made decisions that impact real people. That’s exactly the kind of experience we need guiding city policy — especially as Richmond Hill faces growth, infrastructure challenges, and big financial decisions that will shape the next decade.

Buck has never been someone who waits for others to fix a problem. He steps in, volunteers, and gets involved. From supporting youth programs to advocating for safety and responsible development, his service has always been rooted in community and family — not politics.

I strongly believe that Richmond Hill is better with leaders who:
• Understand how to plan for growth responsibly
• Know how to manage budgets and negotiate contracts
• Show transparency and strong communication
• Put residents — not outside interests — first

Buck Holly checks every one of those boxes.

With Buck on City Council, Richmond Hill will have someone who protects taxpayers, supports smart development, strengthens community values, and brings much-needed experience and professionalism to the table.

I encourage every resident to take the time to learn about Buck’s background, vision, and accomplishments. I am confident that once you do, you’ll see what I see — Buck Holly is exactly the kind of leader we need to move Richmond Hill forward.

The initial debate has concluded and is now a part of history. Excited to persist in promoting a constructive narrative and demonstrating how extensive experience in the military, government, business, and volunteer work can be advantageous in guiding our city into the upcoming era.
