Real world experience matters.
Even though Jay has served for years on Thomasville's City Council, he's not a career politician—actually, he owns and runs his own business, Core Rewards, right here in Thomasville. Jay knows what it's like to build a life here, make payroll, and build your business. He knows how policies impact business owners and families.
“I know that our long term viability and success is dependent on good jobs in a safe environment. The primary role of city government is to provide that safe place where our citizens can thrive……..then get out of the way.”
Loving Thomasville matters.
Jay believes this town we share is an amazing place. It takes every member of the community caring to make it what it is. That's why Jay believes in being available and listening to your concerns. He's here to meet your needs and represent your concerns. Because when we all love Thomasville, it can only get better.
“My goal is to keep Thomasville on this great path toward smart growth, long term financial health and to continue to be the great place we love. Our history gives us perspective, embracing modern technology and amenities keeps us viable. My real goal is to get my 3 boys to move back here to raise their families.”
