Two more candidates have filed for the May 11 General Election for the Little Elm Town Council open positions along with incumbent Chip Norman, who filed in January.
For the position of Place 2 on council, James Dominy and Robert Anderson have filed. Norman will be running unopposed for Place 4. His election filing story was printed in the Feb. 8th edition of "The Little Elm Journal."
James Dominy
Dominy is running for Town Council because of the purposeful growth and development in the town that he has seen.
"The small-town atmosphere, friendly neighbors and proximity of the lake drew me to the town when we moved here in 2005," he said. "I am committed to listening to community members and working hard to give back to my town. "
Dominy has served on the Social Committee in his neighborhood of Sunset Pointe for the past seven years. He has also served two years on the Pool Committee and one year on the Neighborhood Watch.
"I believe it's important to talk and work with my neighbors in order to properly represent their needs and wants for the future," he said.
Dominy believes that one of the main issues facing Little Elm is attracting the right business to the right location in order to increase property values and enhance the overall community.
"As Little Elm works toward its long term plan, I feel I can be in constant contact with residents, listening, thinking creatively, and working hard to overcome growing pains, while making sure all of our neighbors' voices are heard," Dominy said.
Robert Anderson
Little Elm Economic Development Corporation member Anderson decided to run for council because he wants to take a more active and effective role in the direction the town.
"I want to help make sure that Little Elm becomes the place to live and raise a family in the area," Anderson said. "While I feel that my place on the EDC allows this, a position on the Town Council would put me central to helping guide that direction."
Anderson, a nine-year resident of Little Elm, has also served on the Little Elm Board of Adjustments as both a member and chairman over the past several years. If elected, he plans to remain on the EDC. He described Little Elm as a growing residential community with great opportunities for residents and small to medium size businesses.
"I intend on working closely with the mayor, other council members and town boards, as well as residents and local businesses to ensure that we take full advantage of our growth to stimulate business development, which increases revenue and in result allows us to grow our parks, recreational facilities, and public works further," he said.
