Midland Town Council: Don Fleener- Unaffiliated

Don Fleener believes in empowering Midland residents to get involved in the community.

Fleener said those serving on Town Council need to open the lines of communication so the public can add to the discussion of important issues, such as growth.

“When you’re on an elected body, it’s your responsibility to do everything humanly possible to engage people,” Fleener said.

Fleener moved to Midland in 1994.

He owns TSS Electrics, a small family business. Prior to that, Fleener spent more than 15 years in plant engineering maintenance in the Charlotte area.
Fleener has been involved with Midland since before it was incorporated in 2000, serving as a member of the Midland Community Association.
He was appointed to the Midland Planning and Zoning Board in 2000 and served for three years. He chaired the board for more than a year and also served a year as vice chairman.

Bob McCoy of Midland said he was impressed by Fleener when they both served on the board.

“He asked the questions I thought needed to be asked,” McCoy said. “He’s got a mind of his own. Too many people on these boards go along with the crowd.”

Fleener considers himself a strong advocate for managed growth.

Midland Town Council: Darrell Page- Republican

Darrell Page may be the lone incumbent for the Midland Town Council race, but don’t call him a politician.

He never had aspirations of becoming president or a governor, but friends encouraged him to run for Town Council in 2003. He believes those serving on the council should work toward the overall good of the town and its citizens.
“The town was new, and I felt like we needed to make sure we have people who were working for the town that had grown up here,” Page said.
Page was born and reared in Midland, as were his parents, grandparents and great grandfather.

He describes Midland as the center of accessibility to four major towns: Albemarle, Charlotte, Concord and Monroe.

Fellow councilman Allen Burnette described Page as dedicated and knowledgeable.
“He’s very dedicated to the town and community,” Burnette said . “He has the town’s as a whole best interest of heart.”

Page would like another term on the town council to follow through on providing the town water and sewer services, as well as helping provide more county resources in town, such as library service and resources for the town’s senior citizens.
Page served in the Air National Guard for 35 years, seeing action in operations Desert Storm, Desert Shield and Enduring Freedom. He’s currently employed at Duke Energy in Charlotte, where he manages data and maintenance for transmission stations.
