Letter to the Editor: Progress we see today is direct result of Troup’s commitment, integrity, transparency

When Mike Troup ran for mayor four years ago, he promised to prioritize public safety, strengthen Quincy’s economy and improve the city’s infrastructure. In our current culture where political promises are often compromised, broken or totally ignored, Mayor Troup has maintained a steady focus on the needs of Quincy.

His administration has operated with transparency by keeping residents informed about both progress and challenges. He has remained steadfast in delivering tangible results that have positively impacted our community.

The progress we see today is a direct result of Mayor Troup’s commitment, integrity and transparency. Quincy’s public safety has been strengthened, not just by ensuring that our police and fire departments are well-funded and well-equipped but also by prioritizing the safety of all residents.

He has worked tirelessly to improve Quincy’s economy and ensure it remains strong and continues to grow. He has successfully attracted new businesses, supported local entrepreneurs and focused on expanding job opportunities for residents. His focus on investing in repairing and upgrading street, water, and sewer systems has been a much-needed priority. His administration is dedicating resources to these essential improvements without wavering from a path of steady progress.

Quincy is in a much better place today because of Mayor Troup’s hard work and honest leadership. Please join me in voting to re-elect Mike Troup early or on April 1.
