"In my time as your Mayor and State Representative, I’ve always been a leader with an eye toward the future. But a positive future, with opportunities and benefits for every person in Fort Smith, will not happen by accident.

That’s why it’s imperative that we take the clear opportunity to invest in ourselves, invest in our future, and invest in our status as a premier city by supporting the U.S. Marshals Museum with a YES vote on March 12th.

A YES vote means that we seize the opportunity to put our best foot forward. Using additional revenue to optimize and finalize our Marshals Museum will send a powerful signal to the state and the nation that Fort Smith embraces its status as a community that supports and celebrates its law enforcement heritage and its partnership with our military and veterans. If you have worn a uniform and risked your life in the service and protection of others, Fort Smith is a city that honors you!

Voting YES will tell investors and donors far-and-wide that the mighty Arkansas Riverfront is open for business and will be home to a world-class attraction. Communities that invest in themselves thrive, prosper, and grow. Communities that refuse to accept this reality whither, decay, and, ultimately, fail.

The choice is yours. We have made so many positive steps the last few years. We’ve voted YES to invest in our schools, we’re sacrificing together to fix our water infrastructure, and we’ve elected experienced and dedicated public servants to represent us in City Hall and Little Rock. Don’t waste these hard-fought efforts. Don’t turn your back on progress. And never, ever be complacent when faced with a question that speaks to the very future and fabric of your city.

You hold the power with the mighty and awesome responsibility of your vote. We’re asking for your voice and your support. Please vote YES on March 12th!" - Mayor George McGill
