'The time is right to take on this challenge.’ David Baskett files for Stephenville City Council.
David Baskett said serving on the Stephenville City Council has been something he has wanted to do for years, and on Thursday, he took a big step in that direction.
Baskett filed to run for place 6, currently held by Alan Nix, who is reportedly not seeking another term.
“I think the time is right to take on this challenge and work to keep the city moving in a positive direction,” Baskett told Beneath the Surface News. “The city council has done a great job over the past couple of years and I want to help keep the momentum going.”
Baskett grew up in Stephenville and is now the divisional sales manager at The Prestige Team Mortgage.
