I have had the pleasure of knowing Samantha for 13 plus years. She is a fine, hard working lady. As a wife, mother, business person and coach in little league sports, Samantha gives it all her 100% dedication.
Recently in Malvern while eating at Fondren’s I asked one lady what she thought about Samantha. Her reply was 100% in support. This lady has witnessed her working as a coach and the patience she has with the children, the leadership she exhibits, Samantha will be a terrific Mayor.
Samantha, her busband of 13 years, Whitney Barron, made Malvern their home in 2016. She saus from the beginning her family was welcomed with kindness, open arms and a true sense of community. That heartfelt welcom left a lasting impression on her, Whitney and her children. And Samantha describes that as to why she is so passionate about giving back ti the town that gave so much to her family.
Samantha and Whitney have one daughter, Ivey Jo. She is 8 years old and attends Slocomb Elementary School.

SAMANTHA BARRON ASK FOR YOUR VOTE FOR MAYOR OF THE TOWN OF MALVERN.
DOTHAN: Tonight at the regular school board meeting School Board Members, Brett Strickland, Melanie Hill, Franklin Jones and Brenda Guilford voted to hire Athens Georgia DR. GARRICK ASKEW as Dothan School Superintendent.
A 4 to 3 vote with Chairman Scott Childers, Aurie Jenkins, Amy Bonds voting against.
Ladies and Gentleman, here is what the 4, Strickland, Hill, Jones, and Guilford is doing … the new Superintendent will get a salary of at least $ 225,000.00 a year with a four year buyout clause. This means YOU, the citizens of Dothan Alabama will have to pay this Athens Georgia man around $ 900,000.00 to get out of this contract.
Understand, 50% of these four members, Strickland and Hill, are not seeking re-election. On August 5, you the registered voters, will be electing two new board members and a new Chairman. Jones and Guilford has opponents. These 4 are determined to SHOVE IT TO THE REGISTERED VOTERS by selecting a new Superintendent.
Remember when Dr. Leon Hobbs was Dothan School Superintendent. And YOU, THE REGISTERED VOTERS, were forced to pay Dr. Hobbs and buy out his contract. Education is Dothan Alabama CAN NOT get better with the mindset of RAMMING IT TO THE REGISTERED VOTERS as these four are doing.
None of these four have any children in the Dothan City Schools, with exception of Brenda Guilford who her daughter works in the Central Office of Dothan City Schools.
When Dothan City Schools need more money, JUST SAY NO!!!!!!! Dothan Commissioners, REMOVE THE MILLIONS YOU GIVE TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM!!!
