Two candidates vie for Hattiesburg Ward 2 seat
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WHLT) – Two candidates are hoping to fill Hattiesburg's Ward 2 City Council seat. The seat is open for the first time in more than two decades after Councilwoman Deborah Delgado decided not to seek re-election. Eric Boney and Carlos Wilson, who are both Democrats, are vying for the position. Boney, a native of Hattiesburg, is the former principal of Hattiesburg High School and Youth Court counselor. He wants to make his ward more accessible for low income families with more affordable housing. 'For a city to continue to thrive and survive, you need families, and they need a place to stay in. Ward 2 has a lot of potential, but housing is just one of those things that we need to focus on for families to move into Ward 2,' Boney stated. Purdie running unopposed in Clinton mayoral race He also wants to improve infrastructure to prevent flooding and tackle food insecurity. 'Decision-making is very important. There are going to be some issues that citizens, of course, know about and know what they want to do, and then there are going to be some issues that they may not know so much about. But that's when I step in and make those good decisions for them,' Boney said. Wilson is a community advocate and the pastor of Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in Hattiesburg. He wants to bridge a gap between local government and the people. 'The average citizen just doesn't know what the process is. And so having a voice at the table from city government back to the people and from the people back to government, we can reduce the frustration on both sides of the aisle,' Wilson said. Wilson said he's had success in revitalizing parts of Ward 2, and he's focusing on continuing those efforts with better infrastructure while demanding an equal budget. 'If we could deal with what could be sometimes seen as unfair policies or policies that don't meet the needs of every constituent, as well as the infrastructure, the housing. And then, of course, the budget issues. Want to make sure that Ward 2 gets her fair share of monetary budgets,' stated Wilson. Only Wards 2 and 5 will hold primary elections, which will be held on April 1. The General Election will be on June 3. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.
