What a great city we live in! I am looking forward to playing a role in it.
My decision to run for mayor was not as easy as you might expect. I had to first ask myself,why do I want to be mayor and what do I hope to accomplish?
I have lived in Lake Dallas for sixteen years and love the small town feel, as well as the kind, generous people.
Serving as the director of operations for a local non-profit has afforded me the opportunity to see the side of Lake Dallas that not everyone is able to see. I work one-on-one with people in our area who are hurting and need assistance, but I also have the chance to see the hearts of those willing to give of their time and their lives to provide for others that they may never know.
My decision to run for mayor came down to this: I want to help people, I want to be available to sit down and speak with someone when there are questions, to find the answers if I don’t know them.
I want to be a part of making the changes needed as we grow together as a community.
If you want to talk, I will look forward to meeting you.
Thank you,
Michael D. Barnhart
Mayor
City of Lake Dallas
