First Place Winner: Richard Hobbs

If I was Mayor of Toccoa, my focus woul dbe improving community pride. I would support all community activities. Since downtown Toccoa is currently being restored, I would encourage the public to support this project. I would encourage the public to take pride in their town.

If I were Mayor of the commission, I would encourage businesses to display "Take Pride" signs. I would also partner with industry to provide a free American flag for every citizen. This would be great to show town visitors that unity of our community.

We would combine "Take Pride" with a "Shop at Home" campaign that would encourage citizens to buy here to help the local economy. This campaign would accomplish three things:

1) bring back pride in our city
2) encourage unity
3) help the economy of local business and the city.

This is how I would make a difference if I were mayor.
