Mansfield resident and small business owner Charles Smith has announced his candidacy for Mansfield City Council, position 1 ward 1. That seat is being vacated by sitting alderman, Georganna Mabry.
Smith and his wife, Brenda, moved to Mansfield in 2013. The couple wanted to be closer to family, specifically, their daughter, Shelly Semour, who resides in Abbott. Additionally, Smith has owned and operated Furr Baby’s Grooming on Howard Street for the past three years. “I built it from the ground up,” commented Smith.
“I want to help the City of Mansfield,” he explained. Adding that “there’s not a lot that needs to be changed, the mayor we have now has done a great job. I would just like to see our city continue to do well.”
