AMARILLO, Texas - Feb. 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Local fire Lieutenant and small business owner, Josh Craft, announced his plan to run for Amarillo City Council, Place 1. "Utilizing my conservative mindset, I'm running to be a voice of reason for you as a tax-payer. Working together, Amarillo will flourish, strengthen, and become a safer place to call home for our families and children.

Josh grew up in Amarillo (go Sandies) and attended Amarillo College. He and Ashley have been married for 5 years and have two children. They attend Trinity Fellowship Church.

JOSH'S PLAN

1. Create a more transparent level of government between citizens and council
2. Make public safety as a top priority
3. Build better relationships with schools in Amarillo
4. Keep taxes low and vote in the best interest of the citizens
5. Shift the Culture. Listen to the city workers, and see what change can be made to have great retention so we don't see issues we've had in the past (ex. trash services and permitting)
6. Find a way to take care of and retain first responders
7. Establish accountability in Animal Management and Welfare to reduce our kill rate, stricter enforcement on animal cruelty, and work alongside with our nonprofit rescues.
