March 19, 2018 - My name is Floyd Blackman and I am proud to announce my candidacy for Joaquin City Council. My wife, Susie, and I have lived in the Joaquin area for more than 30 years. We have four grown children and numerous grandkids. I retired after 42 years in the oil field so I will be readily available to fulfill my duties as City Council member. I am a former Joaquin VFD, I serve as a church trustee for Joaquin Methodist Church, for several years I have been an active participant in Joaquins annual Christmas fest that helps raise thousands for those in need in the Joaquin area, and I also volunteer at several other fundraisers throughout the year.
It will be an honor to serve my community as a City Council member. My door will always be open to the concerns and needs of the people of Joaquin. It is my desire to bring the community of Joaquin together and to work side by side with city employees in order to help Joaquin not only grow but thrive while still maintaining the small town feel of Joaquin that we all love. If elected one of my top priorities is to clean up and beautify downtown Joaquin. I look forward to serving the town of Joaquin!
Floyd Blackman
