Letter To The Editor: Dear Voting Residents of Alton, I am writing to express my wholehearted support for Mayor David Goins in his bid for a second term as Mayor of the city of Alton, Illinois. My relationship with David spans many years, during which I have seen him in various capacities — as a dedicated police officer with the Alton Police Department, a compassionate pastor at Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church, and currently, as an effective and forward-thinking Mayor. David has devoted over forty years of his life to serving our community, embodying the essence of leadership, honesty, and integrity.

His leadership has positioned Alton as a place where our community can thrive. Throughout his tenure as mayor, David and his administration has put down over 30 Streets. He has spent over $500K on street infrastructure.
