In less than two weeks, Tuesday, November 5th, we go to the polls for important races on the National, State, and Local Levels…
District 2 Voters,
I’m asking you to vote for me by “filling in” and “writing in” my name: “Charlie Wilson” for the Board of Education Member for District 2.
Folks have asked me, “Bro. Charlie, why are running for School Board?”
My simple answer is this: “Because I think we must do better for our children.”
I’ve had the honor and privilege to live, minister, and serve in the community of Aliceville for over 20 years. Currently, in the congregation where I pastor, there are children that attend every school in our county with the exception of Pickens County High School. In the past 20 years, I have had church members who have worked at each school in the county, as well as folks who have worked as District employees. My wife has also taught at Aliceville Elementary for over 15 years. Therefore, I can confidently say that I have a good pulse of the state of our School District.
In my opinion, the students, educators, faculty, staff, and facilities have been underserved in Aliceville. Our city is the largest municipality in the School District, and we need better representation.
To advocate to the entire Board and the Superintendent’s Office, Aliceville needs a strong advocate and a compassionate and competent leader.
A few months ago, I preached a sermon and challenged our church to have a more active and impactful role in our community. I got a lot of positive feedback from that sermon. Several days later, I caught myself looking in the mirror and realizing that I need to practice what I preached.
If you live in District 2, I’m asking for your vote and your “hand-written” approval to serve our community in this capacity.
If you live in the other Districts, continue to be a champion for ALL our children and tell your friends, relatives, and neighbors who live in District 2 to “Fill it in and Write it in!”
“First Name, Charlie … Last Name, Wilson for District 2 BOE!”
