Dr. Kim Fralick Got Fed Up with Central Politics, Decided to Get Involved and Make a Difference

Dr. Kim Fralick has been endorsed by the Republican Party in her race for one of five seats on the Central City Council.  Here are some of her statements made in public forums:

• “As the mother of five, I am very grateful for our Central community school system.  Central is a God-fearing community.  We’re not afraid to pray or say the Pledge in this community.  The greatest influences in my life are my faith in Jesus Christ, my conservative upbringing, my family and church, and my desire to live a life of integrity.”

• “I graduated from the University of Arkansas-Monticello with a B.S. in animal science and the LSU Vet School with a doctor of veterinary medicine.  I opened Joor Road Veterinary Hospital 17 years ago.  In that time, I’ve learned to run a business and establish a budget.  I’ve learned the difference between needs and wants.”

• “Three years ago, I immersed myself in the City of Central and attended City Council meetings and Planning & Zoning meetings.  I researched what needs to be done and what needs to be changed.  Now I’d like to be on the other side of the podium, helping to make the decisions that need to be made.  I believe I have enough knowledge and information to fairly represent the people of Central.  I’m a fiscal conservative and realize it is a great responsibility to handle other peoples’ money.”

• “I have lots of ideas about what needs to be done but my real job will be to listen to the people of Central and represent them.”

• “I’ve learned a lot out on the campaign trail, because when people talk, I listen completely.  I’ve spent most of my time going door to door and talking to people.  Somebody asked me what I do if a voter just goes on and on.  I said I just stand there and listen, because that’s my job — to listen to people!  The only time I leave before they’re finished is when the street lights come on!  Then I say uh-oh the street lights are on — I better get home and feed the kids!”
