Charlie Bradt
I moved to Shenandoah in 1981 with my wife Marti and our three children. Shenandoah very easily became our home for the last 36 years. In 1983 I served on the Shenandoah City Council until 1990 when I then ran and was elected Mayor. I served as Mayor until 1992. I have served as a commissioner on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission for the last nineteen years.
While I was on City Council, we made many huge improvements to Shenandoah, like the south outfall which stopped the flooding of over 50 homes.
We built a waste water treatment plant on the east side to serve our city and stopped paying Southern MUD for treatment of our wastewater service. This plant serves us today and still has capacity for growth.
We then abolished MUD 59 that was within the city just to our south and brought the Hospital and all the development in that area from Metro MUD into Shenandoah water and sewer services. We developed plans for growth of our Commercial development and traffic plans that are much in place today. All with the lowest levy of property tax on our residents in the surrounding area.
The elected Mayors and Council persons elected and served since I was on City Council have done a great job and I tip my hat to all of them for their hard work and devotion the City of Shenandoah. Many improvements have been brought to fruition and all one has to do is drive through the city to see the fruits of their labor. I run for office to continue this tradition and offer my prospective to keeping Shenandoah, Shenandoah.
The last 34 years of my life I have worked in the retail automobile business and have been very successful. I am a self-starter and wish to maintain the life style and security most residents want in Shenandoah Texas.
