FREEPORT — Both of the men running in the Democratic primary election for Freeport mayor emphasized getting involved with community leaders and sorting out issues facing the city as a priority should they be elected to the position.
Voters on Tuesday will choose between Ronnie Bush and Walter Hayward. The winner will advance to the general municipal election on April 6 against Freeport Mayor Jodi Miller.
Hayward, 44, and Bush, 68, said if elected they would spend their first few days seeking out community leaders to get more informed on the top issues to focus on in the city and find ways to solve problems.
