Mayor McCormick has a record of accomplishments in Godfrey that is as impressive as it is long. Some of the highlights are the great park system, the improvement of the roads, the addition of great local businesses, and his creative approach to the pandemic which kept local businesses open while benefitting families.

And to his credit - all this has been done while keeping Godfrey’s municipal tax rate the lowest in the country with no municipal debt.

There is clearly only one choice for Mayor for the Village of Godfrey. That choice is Mayor Mike McCormick.

Sincerely,

Mike Walters
