Swore committed to helping residents

I'm supporting Chuck Swore for city council. I've had the opportunity to see Swore's commitment firsthand.
I was greatly affected when the old city council passed a zoning ordinance without any notification to property owners. When I brought this to Swore's attention, he went way out of his way to get this corrected. He went to several meetings, talked to the people involved and got the ordinance changed. Mostly on his own time. I know this wouldn't have happened without his efforts.
Also, if the city needs anything going forward, it's putting new ideas out there for discussion. Swore is the right guy at the right time.
