Atmore is a dried up ghost town , just look around and what do you see in Atmore? nothing there but a few nickel and dime restaurants. kinda got that bad part of mobile look going. somebody needs to step in office and get atmore back to where it was in the late 70`s, a thriving small town city USA .And furthermore anyone who is affiliated with campaign for liberty can`t be a bad choice for Atmore !

I am a close friend and I have worked with Chad here in the Mobile Area.

In all the conversations we have had, all I have even heard and seen out of Chad Thower is a great desire to make things better,Chad is very meticulous in his research on topics, and has brought light to alot of things here in Mobile Country and for the State for that matter.

Chad being 27 years is extremely mature, and responsible. I do not feel that Chad has any agenda’s other than making the place where he lives a better and much brighter place.

I personally would hand over anything that I value, to Chad Thower and completely trust the out come to be a “Great Success”.

To all of Atmore… I would seriously consider Chad Thower for Mayor 2012.

You will not be disappointed!!!

Educate yourself Atmore. Stop & have a conversation with Chad- then you will see what drives him. He does not work for the casino. He works for the gaming commision- which makes sure the federal rules are enforced at the casino. That’s his job. We all have jobs. His passion however is America & preserving her legacy. Not Indian take over of Atmore….

I woked with Chad about 12 years ago. He is a good kid that is very respectful and he does get this position it will probably do this Town some good. I f were still a resident of ATMORE HE WOULD SURELY HAVE MY VOTE. Good Luck Chad hope you do well in this new venture.

It doesn’t take long for one to look around and see that Atmore needs new leadership. Yes, it’s true that the local economy needs help, but the city needs a sense of pride too. I don’t know if new blood in city government is the answer or not, but let’s be honest… what’s it going to hurt? This good old boy network just isn’t cutting it.

As I said Chad may be the best Mayor this city has ever seen, then May be not. I am willing to give the man a chance, or any one else who can show me facts of how Atmore can grow.
“I know the Truth” some of your comments are Wright, not about Chad. The people of Atmore do not owe anyone anything and should not humble down to anyone!!! Poarch Creek Indians have done a great job for themselves, I have lived in the poarch community for about 10 years, know a lot of the older ones and the young ones. If you are a Tribal Member hold your head high you have a lot to be proud of. I although do not qualify and I have some creek blood. If you know the truth then know this, at this time in society no one should humble down, we should work to make the entire community both Atmore and Poarch better and safer places. If for nothing else for our children who will inherit this we have created. George Carlin once wrote a piece; in the piece he made a statement that has never been truer than in today’s society, he said “ We can put a man on the moon, talk to our family half way around the world by phone or email, but we cannot or will not walk across the street to meet our neighbors”

I can’t vote in the city elections (I live in the county) however my parents can and I will encourage them to support Chad for his Mayoral race. I have had the opportunity to work with Chad for the last several years and he has a lot of valid issues and I believe he has a lot to offer Atmore (A new beginning) Chad speaks of bringing job opportunity to Atmore which we all know is very limited!

@ Bobby: “I am not sure if everyone knows just how crooked and underhanded the gaming industry is or not but I see conspiracy written all over this one. And of course he is concerned with the debt the city has by purchasing Rivercane property. The casino wants to buy that property and he works for the casino” I don’t know you but feel like you need to be educated on some things, so next time you speak/write you can speak/write the truth: #1. Chad does not work for the Casino, never said he did, however he does work at the Casino. #2. Chad regulates the Casino to insure they are doing everything by the rules that are goverened by the Federal Government and yes we do have rules! #3. Chad is not a Tribal Member so what would he stand to gain by being in control of Atmore? If it were not for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, Atmore would still be nothing other than a little spot on the map! (the town of Atmore should humble down and thank PBCI for all their donations to the schools and I mean all of them within a certain radius, Florida & Alabama, Civic Organizations and much more not to mention all the real estate that has been purchased by Casino employees, and the jobs that were created for the local residents of Atmore! I do not know if Chad can run the city of Atmore or not but I do know he is willing to try and at least finally bring new things to the table to benefit Atmore and it’s people. I say get rid of the “click” that now runs city hall and keep Mayor Shells cronies from having the opportunity to keep Atmore down! You go Chad……Atmore needs people like you with new ideas!

O.k. (Animal) your turn again to make the bid to run for Mayor………… Sound like Honesty is what some people are wanting. Always said everyone judge you by your looks and character. NOT THE MAN YOU ARE. WAKE UP ATMORE. stop looking at part of the picture. A quick story (no names will be used out of respect)
A man received a call one day to help set up what is now Baldwin Counties Dispatch Center for all of Baldwin County. After a little while on the job he had to fire one of the employee’s, before doing so he and I talked he told me the problem, (He really had no choice) but when he fired the person he told them other business, you screw up you lose money… Maybe. In our work you screw up could be someone’s LIFE! Fast forward after being let go from that position (oh did I mention the employee was a relative to a political person in Baldwin county at that time) The man was asked to interview for Escambia County Alabama 911 when it was first starting up, when he appeared for the interview he was wearing will say casual wear (no suit and tie), he did not get the job and was told it was because of what he wore to interview in. The point is the man was more than qualified for the job. We tend to look at the person and not what they are capable of doing but what everyone else “says” they are doing. I do not know Chad Maybe he will be a great Mayor or Maybe not? But What everyone forgets is, ONE MAN DOES NOT RUN THIS CITY!!!! That is why you have Council members, oh and a voice. Think ATMORE.
