Bruce Jeffers has declared his candidacy to return to the Bowling Green City Council in 2020.
“Entering my eighth year in this position, I have found the opportunity to work for all the citizens of Bowling Green to be very rewarding and I would like to continue,” Jeffers said.
According to Jeffers, at the city level of government, council members are mainly involved with services, economic development, and neighborhood enhancement through planning and zoning. Larger state and national issues certainly have their impact, but Jeffers said he intends to stay focused on the issues the city can control.
“During my tenure on City Council, we have improved our sustainable power supply by adding the largest solar field in Ohio, which complements the wind turbines enabled by prior leadership. Also, we have been through several rounds of planning initiatives finding ways to improve land use and improve business opportunities and neighborhoods. We have sought ways to improve the labor pool for manufacturing through the Welcome BG process. All of these initiatives take vision and patience, and I believe I have demonstrated such qualities through my record of action in all these areas,” Jeffers said.
“I look forward to serving another four year term as one of your At-Large Council members,” Jeffers said.
