  • Betty Munn Endorsement

    “It’s time for change and I believe Josh Atkinson is the man for the job. For 8 years nothing has been happening for Freeport. We need better for our families and our kids. Freeport, Josh deserves a chance. Over the next few months, try to get to know him and what he’s about before you make decisions about what ya’ll hear about a person.

    Josh is going door to door, going out to different places, trying to meet people. I haven’t seen anyone doing that. That’s what you suppose to do. I appreciate him for that.

    You do need to know who and why you’re voting for him and he’s trying to let you guys know what he wants for Freeport. The things he trying to do for our town. Go out meet him, talk to him, ya’ll been making decisions without even really getting to talk with people. I’m definitely going to make it my business to meet him. I hope some of you guys do the same before it’s time to vote.”
