About this series: As part of our ongoing election coverage, we invited each candidate to submit up to three letters of support. Here is a letter from City Commissioner Brian Fisher asking Avondale residents to vote for him on Nov. 5. 

Dear Decaturish,

I would like to thank the City of Avondale Estates for electing me to serve as Commissioner for the past four years. I am asking for your vote again on November 5, 2019, to allow me to help finish the projects that I helped start.

If re-elected, I will continue to use my professional experience in banking, finance, and real estate lending to help the Board of Mayor and Commissioners best navigate the restoration of our Central Business District. But equally important, if re-elected, I promise to play an active role in helping bring our community back together.

These past two years following the unexpected departure of our former City Manager and now this election, which finds our former City Manager running for the position of Mayor, have been extremely divisive for our city. I am committed to being a part of the solution. I am committed to finding ways for us to heal and identifying community- and consensus-building opportunities.

Our greatest strength is our people, and what makes Avondale so special is that we have an active and engaged community of diverse citizens, who may not always agree, but who are still neighbors and are there for one another when it matters. We are truly a “small town, intown.”

Thank you, again, for the opportunity to serve.

Sincerely,

Brian Fisher
