Political yard signs are popping up all over the neighborhoods as the April 9 elections draw near. Why they’re even showing up near the upper right hand side of the page! DeKalb County Online asked the local candidates to place their campaign sign on our website in exchange for a $90 donation to their favorite local charity and then tell us why they chose their pick.
Mike Verbic, one of four candidates for Mayor of DeKalb chose CASA DeKalb County to receive his $90 donation. The mission of the DeKalb County CASA Program is to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children who are under the protection of the juvenile court, seeking to assure safe, permanent families for them as quickly as possible.
Other candidates have joined our locals helping locals program, their signs are rotating on this website and their stories will also appear here.
Thanks to all of the candidates for their commitment to our community. It takes a lot of gumption just to step up and take the responsibility of becoming a public servant let alone entering a popularity contest based on who you are, what you’ve done and how you will fix the mess we’re in. The time commitment for campaigning is enormous for those who choose to become a candidate. And thanks to the local charities who provide so many services to our community, too.
Community giving…
