- Humble Person - Very approachable with “you" in mind
- Honesty and Committment - I stand on honesty throughout my business and my personal life
- High Intelligence - I am a person of study with an intentional and calculated approach to learning more and more each day
- Firm in Decision Making - I am not your stereotypical Politician where a good decision is based on constant wavering in order to achieve advancement or opportunity .
Educational Development
Our children are our most precious resource. Without providing them with proper opportunities, our future is at risk. I am committed to making our children a top priority in budget planning. Our schools should be known for success, not failure, and to help shape productive citizens, we must prioritize their education and development. We need in-school mentoring and tutoring programs, as well as enhanced career and trade education. Furthermore, financial literacy is essential and should be incorporated into the curriculum. Our children are the foundation of our future, and their success is our responsibility.
Economic Development
Pleasant Grove is truly a “Diamond in the Rough.” Our city boasts a dynamic and diverse population of individuals who deeply love the community they call home. Both our State Representative and State Senator are proud residents of Pleasant Grove. While it’s acknowledged that we have faced economic challenges and limited growth over the past two decades, my vision is to actively seek opportunities to foster progress. I aim to create an inclusive environment where ideas are shared and valued, paving the way for new growth and development. Our goal is not only to attract businesses but to ensure we bring in the right businesses that align with our community’s needs and aspirations.
Government Transparency
We need complete transparency within our City Government to build trust and foster collaboration between leaders and residents. Every citizen deserves the opportunity to voice their concerns and feel assured that their input is valued and acted upon. Transparency ensures accountability and keeps the community informed about decisions that affect their lives. Informed citizens are empowered citizens, and together we can create a more productive, engaged, and united community.
“I would like to once again thank the fine citizens of Pleasant Grove, Alabama, for electing me to serve in the office as City Councilor for the great City of Pleasant Grove.
It’s not just your vote that I’m thankful for but it’s about trusting me to serve and represent you well. You spoke loud and clear during the election and trust me I do not take my duties lightly.”
JESSE JAMES VANN LEGACY AWARD
In honor of my late father, Founded in 2026
PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. (WIAT) — Three seniors at Pleasant Grove High School received life-changing surprises during the school’s Senior Awards Night Monday night, including a new car, free college tuition, and funds designed to help them pursue their futures.
The gifts were part of the Jesse James Vann Legacy Award, an initiative created by Pleasant Grove Mayor Pro Tem Regina Vann Williams in honor of her late father, Jesse James Vann.
Williams said the students were selected not because of grades or popularity, but because of their resilience, determination and ability to keep moving forward despite adversity. One of those students was Mamadou Barry, who said he had no idea what was coming when called onstage.
“I didn’t know what I was getting and I got the perfect gift,” Barry said.
