My name is Keith Snow; I am what I am. A person that helps people. I am passionate, caring, committed, dedicated and knowledgeable. I have experienced things that people will never experience. I have a heart and good intentions in all I do. I have a good aspect in business and city operations. When I ran for mayor in 2012, I did not do it for money. I am thankful for all the votes, and the supporters who believe in me. I am very good at what I do. I know about government and I am tired of dirty politics. When I ran in 2012 I did not do it to be popular; I did it so I can have a chance to protect the people in the community and stop political corruption. I want to make sure that the people are taken care of the right way. I have been going to city council meetings throughout my whole life in different cities for years. I feel a city should run efficiently and accurately, and I have experience in that.
