BRYANT, AR – In a June 10 press release, small-business owner Walter Burgess announced his candidacy for Bryant City Council, Ward 2, Seat 2. Burgess, a longtime Bryant resident, is the co-owner and Co-CEO of Power Technology, Inc. in Alexander. Over the last nine years, he has served on the Bryant Planning Commission as Vice-Chairman and Commissioner.
“As a long time planning commissioner and former Vice-Chairman, I have seen the best Bryant has to offer. I also see the challenges our city has in front of us. We are at a crossroads. Local taxes, city infrastructure and city budgets are significant challenges that our city faces. I am not a politician but I have worked with state and local governments for decades. As a result of this experience, I see solutions differently and know how to tackle big issues by bringing innovative solutions to large problems. Even now, I am better equipping myself for public service by pursuing a certification in Economic Development” said Burgess.
A year ago, Walter completed Leadership Saline County where ongoing community service was a focus. He previously completed the state-wide Leadership Arkansas program through the State Chamber of Commerce. Both programs focus on making participants aware of their community, develop leadership skills and equip participants to make positive change as leaders.
“I am taking this opportunity to ask Ward 2 citizens for your vote and your support”, said Burgess.
As a Planning Commission member and a former candidate for House of Representatives, District 81, Walter has gotten to know Bryant residents by walking neighborhoods, knocking on doors and meeting with thousands of residents. District 81 includes the Saline County portion of Alexander.
His campaign slogan, “Together, we can make Bryant the best place in Arkansas to call home.”
