William Jordan is making his first foray into local politics.
But he has been involved with China Grove’s annual street festival, Farmer Days, since the beginning.
“My wife and I were on the committee that first started the event,” Jordan said. “I’m surprised that is has lasted this long.”
Community involvement is important to Jordan, he said, and that is why he is running for town council.
“I feel like, with my experience, I could do a good job,” Jordan said. “Some of the past councilmen have not served the needs of the people.”
Jordan said he is interested in what improvements can be made to the water and sewer system and expanding the town’s parks.
“The next council will have to make major decisions regarding future management,” Jordan said, “and expected growth in both the private and business sectors. I do not have a personal agenda or disagreement with the city on issues.”
