Mike Stroup Running For Fayetteville Mayor

To my neighbors in Fayetteville, Texas – my name is Mike Stroup, and I am asking for your vote for Mayor in the 2021 municipal election. My wife Julie and I fell in love with Fayetteville and found a home here 8 years ago. It feels good to live in a community that is similar in size to my hometown.

My work history was mostly in the paper manufacturing and packaging business with companies in Ohio and Texas where I worked in design, engineering, sales, and management. Following that, I worked for community development and chamber of commerce organizations in Houston and Fayette County.

I feel our City officials should seek out, listen, and pay attention to the needs of our residents. Of course, the City can’t do everything, but certainly we should do everything we can to address what is needed and attempt to achieve compromise when necessary. The City has a limited budget which we should use wisely and address our City’s debt. As mayor, I would operate with transparency, involvement and openness with the elected officials and residents.

The City of Fayetteville supports all the elements of a larger city, in a beautiful historic setting listed on the National Register of Historic Places: a historic courthouse square and homes, a wonderful K-12 school, public utilities, a local EMS and fire department, restaurants, art galleries and programs, antique shops, a museum, bank, post office, stores, churches, Chamber of Commerce, and guest lodging. These entities and the residents that make up this City deserve nothing but our best efforts in doing our jobs. I pledge to work with these groups and keep everyone as informed as possible with City information through monthly newsletters, website postings and emails.

I welcome the opportunity to meet my neighbors and hear what you have to say.

My phone number is (713) 598-6331 and email is mikestroup4mayor@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance for your vote for Mayor of Fayetteville on May 1, 2021.
