Opinion: Valerie Doucleff Endorses Mike McCormick For Village Of Godfrey Mayor Position

Letter to the Editor, I would like to give my full support to Mike McCormick in his campaign for re-election as mayor of Godfrey, IL. Mayor Mike is the leader who possesses the values, principles, skills and total dedication to the people of Godfrey. While mayor, Mike has not only kept our real estate taxes at the lowest rate in Madison County, but without any municipal debt. A situation other cities would love to find themselves in. Mike has encouraged businesses to locate in Godfrey and families to live here.
