DOTHAN: WOW....All I can say is WOW!
This morning at 10 AM family, friends and supporters for Mark Saliba For Mayor joined him and his family at Alfred Saliba Family Services for his "official" announcement for Mayor of Dothan.
The room was "packed" with not even enough room for standing room only.
Dothan business lady Velma Tribune, who will be serving as campaign manager for Saliba, gave a tremendous introduction for Mark Saliba.
Before announcing Saliba, Mrs. Tribune thanked Dothan's Mayor Mike Schmitz and his 8 years of service. That prompted a standing ovation and salute to Mayor Schmitz.
After the great introduction Mark Saliba spoke.
Saliba is the son of former Dothan Mayor Alfred Saliba. He said that he asked his dad why he would get into politics. And his dad said this community has been great to him and you give back to your community.
Saliba said that is what he wants to do. Expand on Dothan being a customer service oriented city, and with the team of commissioners, department heads and staff make Dothan a better place.
Saliba placed a pair of shoes on the podium. He said the shoes were his dad's and he can not fill them. Saliba said he could not fill Mayor Mike Schmitz's shoes.
Then Mark Saliba replaced those shoes with a pair of working boots. And he said he would put his working boots on and work for Dothan.
Saliba said he ask each and everyone for their support. To be accessible and work for each and every citizen in Dothan.
A host of elected officials were on hand. More important, people from all walks of life were on hand to support Mark Saliba for Mayor.
