OZARK, MO — Three men ran for Ozark mayor two years ago. Those same three are running again.
Who are they, and who will be the next mayor of Ozark? Click here for more.
Current Mayor Don Currence
Don Currence won the mayorship two years ago. Now, he’s running for re-election. “Look at what I’ve done,” he said during a campaign speech in front of a Republican gathering.
We’re still waiting for the details. What have you done, Mr. Mayor? You’ve been present for all photo ops. You want to be in the public eye. But you don’t make decisions on your own. You look to others to call the shots, and you are powerless to operate without your cronies. You are on staff at First Baptist Church Ozark (FBCO). The head pastor there doesn’t like your public image and how you use your connections at the church to throw weight on decisions instigated by others (like Rick Gardner, former mayor and church member, and Susan Haralson, who ran against Mike Moon for state senate, attends FBCO, and was openly interested in skirting the constitution for her own agenda). Haralson also funded her campaign, paying Rick Gardner a whopping amount of money, all from funds she allegedly collected from Covid money given to her business. Crooked indeed!
Alderman David Snider
He’s a good guy on the surface. He’s a bulldog. Strong communicator. Tough guy image. I’d vote for him if he obeyed the constitution he swore to uphold. However, when special interests go his way, he panders to the group in front of him rather than follow the law of the land. He uses his position as a city elected official for his own benefit. He’s a bully who isn’t afraid of pushing his agenda at all costs.
Alderman Eddie Campbell
He’s a country boy. He’s not a public speaker. “Cousin Eddie” is simple in his lifestyle and mannerisms. He wears boots and a cowboy hat. Eddie doesn’t look like a mayor.
But he’s the best candidate for mayor.
Why?
Eddie Campbell catches things others don’t. He has a meticulous nature and explores every option. When a bill is presented, and others are eager to pass it and get on to the next item of business, Cousin Eddie puts on the brakes. “Wait a minute! Consider this first…”
Eddie wants everyone to get involved in important decisions. He wants a full review of all details before making snap decisions.
He may not look like a mayor in the pictures, but he’s a true mayor who looks out for the people in Ozark. One thousand people are going to vote for him. He is going to be the next mayor of Ozark, because the people need representation like his.
