Meet Jerry Bell
Lubbock businessman and community service activist Jerry Bell is running for Lubbock City Council District 4 in the May 10, 2008 election.
"I am supporting Jerry Bell because I have observed him as a business manager and civic organization leader who is very effective in making things happen in a positive way. Even more important is that in his actions he reflects those values and ideals that Americans -- and especially West Texans -- hold dear. In short, Jerry Bell not only does things right, he also does the right thing -- and that is exactly the kind of person we need on our Lubbock City Council."
