Letter to the Editor: Fenton Mayor Endorses a Potential Successor

To the Editor:

As my time in office comes to an end, a lot of you have asked me who I think is the best candidate to be our next mayor. For me, the choice is an easy one - I'll be voting for Mike Polizzi for mayor.

I've known Mike Polizzi for almost 15 years. Mike successfully built his business from the ground up. Having that perspective is critical as we begin the arduous task of redeveloping the Chrysler site.

Mike also has a proven record as a community leader. In addition to his eight years serving on the Board of Aldermen, he is past president of the Fenton area Chamber of Commerce. He also spent several years as a member of the St. Louis County Police Reserve. And, under his leadership, the Fenton Community Charitable Association has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for area charities and causes.

I've seen first-hand what Mike is capable of. And I know that he has the talent and ability to lead our city through the next phase of our history. So while I'm very proud to call him my friend, I'll be just as proud to call him my mayor.

On April 2, I hope you'll join me in voting for Mike Polizzi for mayor.

Dennis Hancock
Fenton Mayor
Treasurer of the Friends To Elect Mike Polizzi Committee
