The following are profiles of candidates seeking local positions on the April 6 ballot.
 
Mt. Vernon Board of Aldermen
 
Name: David Adams
Education: Mount Vernon High School; three years of college.
Occupation: Senior Infrastructure Engineer at a mid-sized IT service provider.
Family: My wife Kaitlyn Adams.
Why should someone vote for you? I believe strongly in serving others. I was raised in Mt. Vernon and served six years in the Navy before pursuing college. I believe in finding solutions; whether it’s Lake Landrum, the Business Loop, or how to invite and support local business, I believe in Mount Vernon.

Name: Sherie Thrasher
Education: Miller High School, class of 1994
Occupation: Legal assistant
Family: Married to Jason Thrasher, two daughters, Jaedyn, age 22, who is a nursing major at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kan. and Haven, age 11, who is a 5th grader at Round Grove Christian Academy.
Why should someone vote for you? In my four years as Alderwoman, I feel I have learned a lot about our town and its citizens. I’ve learned that everyone has a voice and should be able to come to us with problems/suggestions and we, as a board, should listen and take appropriate actions as needed. It’s not all about agreeing or disagreeing. Sometimes it’s about agreeing to disagree and compromise. That’s what makes it all work, everyone working together for the betterment of Mount Vernon and the people who live here.
