Jason Powell of Bonifay, Florida recently announced his candidacy for Seat 1 on the Bonifay City Council.
A lifelong resident of Bonifay, Powell is married to Kisha Smith Powell, and has four children and three grandchildren.
A 1990 graduate of Holmes County, Florida High School, Powell attended Chipola Junior College and operates a family business.
Powell has served on the Holmes County Farm Bureau Board of Directors.
Powell’s self-professed objective as a member of the Bonifay City Council is to introduce a professional and business mindset back into city business, assisting in creating a budget to reduce wasteful spending and avoiding new imposed taxes to compensate for careless expenditures.
‘It is my goal to effectively work alongside other county government agencies such as the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners, Tourist Development Council, Chamber of Commerce and the Holmes County Development Commission to facilitate an effective strategy to assure positive growth to Bonifay’, says Powell.
Powell believes that a cleaner Bonifay is necessary, from the streets to the city government.
