Art Gallegos, Jr., the co-founder of the Gainesville-based Latinos Conservative Organization, has announced his candidacy for a post on Gainesville City Council.
"I'm running for Municipal Council to build better communities within our great city of Gainesville," Gallegos said in a statement announcing his run for the Ward 4 post on the council. Incumbent Councilman George Wangeman, who had entertained a run for mayor, instead plans to run for re-election to the Ward 4 post.
Gallegos, a member of the Hall County Republican Party, said in his statement he believes now is a time to make a change in leadership.
Gallegos serves with a number of community organizations and he currently holds positions with the boards of directors for both The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier and J's Place Recovery Center.
Gallegos discussed his campaign Friday morning on The Martha Zoller Show on WDUN. Follow this link to listen to the interview.
