Pamela Blackmore Jenkins
1. What is your background?
I recently graduated from law school. I have been blessed with six children. My family and I have resided in Hoover for 13 years. We are members of Hunter Street Baptist Church, where I enjoy singing in the choir. I have participated in resolving issues throughout Hoover and I am a dedicated, hard working Republican. Please see my website, electblackmorejenkins.org.
2. What is the biggest issue facing the state?
Under utilization of resources. Ex.1 People Resource. We are in the bottom tier academically in our grade school and high schools. However, we have two of the best colleges in America. We have to give all children the proper skill sets to be successful at an Auburn and Alabama. Ex. 2 Land Resource. We are not utilizing the resources of the poorest area in the nation, which is the Black Belt. The Black Belt must be economically revived. Tax incentives, agriculture and manufacturing would develop the economic base in the Black Belt area.
3. What is the biggest issue facing Hoover in the upcoming year?
The local government must be in tune with maintaining the level of services and quality of life within the city of Hoover. Hoover has been a fast growing city that need to continue to expand its tax base by looking for all opportunities for growing small businesses, creating a larger tax base that will alleviate issues with the financial school system.
