Dear Friends,
October 19, 2016 - My name is Jud Matthews, I am currently running for City of Center, City Council. I’ve had the privilege of living in Center for 35 years; as a child, young adult, adult, husband and father, and a small business owner. I am a 1999 Center High School graduate. I am the son of Retired Center Police Chief, Jimmy Matthews and the late Barbara Matthews. My wife of 9 years and I are raising our three children here. Center is a great place, but it didn’t get this way by accident and we need leadership that will protect the future of our community. Our city council has met the high standards our families and neighborhoods deserve: A safe place to raise a family, an ideal location for business, and a premier place to live.
Leadership is needed to develop responsible plans to keep our city financially secure while prioritizing vital services like public safety. Promoting local business success and jobs will increase our tax base and make it possible for us to meet our goals.
I pledge to tackle our challenges head-on and help Center to continue thriving. I’d be honored to serve as councilman. Please call me anytime, 936-572-1808.
Jud Matthews
