COMMUNITY LEADER AND FORMER LOCAL NAACP PRESIDENT IKE RAYFORD HAS OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF HIS CAMPAIGN FOR CITY COUNCIL IN SIOUX CITY.
RAYFORD PREVIOUSLY RAN FOR A COUNCIL SEAT IN 2021 AND FINISHED A CLOSE 4TH FOR ONE OF THREE POSITIONS THAT YEAR.
HE IS HOPEFUL TO HAVE MORE VOTES THIS YEAR:
IKE5 OC…… SUPPORT THAT. :25
WITH NONE OF THE THREE INCUMBENTS HAVING FILED TO RUN FOR COUNCIL AGAIN, WHOEVER WINS THIS ELECTION WILL BE PART OF A BIG CHANGE TO THE CITY’S GOVERNING BODY:
IKE6 OC…..WANT TO GROW. :28
RAYFORD KNOWS THAT THERE ARE BUDGET CHALLENGES, PARTLY BECAUSE OF A LACK OF GROWTH AND ALSO BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN FUNDING SUPPORT AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS:
IKE7 OC……..THAT’S A REALITY. :26
RAYFORD MOST RECENTLY JOINED THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE SIOUXLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND CURRENTLY SERVES AS A COMMISSIONER ON THE SIOUX CITY CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION,
HE ANNOUNCED HIS CAMPAIGN THIS MORNING AT THE SIOUX CITY CONVENTION CENTER IN FRONT OF THE I LOVE SIOUX CITY SIGN UNDER THE BANNER OF “I LIKE IKE.”
