Editor, The Smithfield Times:

Jim Collins is a Virginia-born family man, former military service member, started his own businesses and has more than proved that he is willing to serve our town residents.

He is currently serving on the Town Council and the Isle of Wight Economic Development Authority. Although his current term on Town Council has been brief, he has shown that his prior leadership experiences have provided him with the ability to evaluate issues by researching the facts, participating in discussions with fellow council members and listening to the concerns/opinions of our citizens, enabling him to provide a conclusion that is based on the best interest for our town residents.

If elected, I know he will continue to perform his council responsibilities with the same enthusiasm as he has in the past. I have already voted for Jim, and I highly recommend our neighbors do the same.

 

Tom Jones
