ALL OF SOUTHAVEN

Our campaign is about all of Southaven, not one area or another.  It’s  about every neighborhood, every family, and the issues affecting those  within our city limits.  That’s why you won’t hear me spending time on  politics or fundraising, rather what we can do to build an even better  city that works for all.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 

If you’re not involved in helping businesses that already exist in  your city and not marketing your city to bring in new business, you’re  not doing your job. My intention is to make Southaven the most business  friendly city in North Mississippi. As your mayor, I will work  diligently to market the entire city of Southaven to a variety of  companies so that our residents have the opportunity to make a good  living with quality companies.


The businesses that are already here, I will work with those  companies to ensure they feel that they are an important part of the  economic success of our city. As businesses, we can all work together to  ensure our city thrives and prospers as a major economic powerhouse  that it has the potential to be now and in the future. Southaven has the  accessibility to major thoroughfares, the potential workforce, and  areas for potential growth for any company that comes to our city.  Bringing more business to our city means more prosperity for our  residents. And that means more prosperity for our city overall.


COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

City Hall belongs to the citizens of Southaven, not just to the Mayor  and Board of Aldermen.  With that being said, if I am entrusted to be  your mayor, I will listen to residents about ideas and/or concerns they  have about our city.  To ensure the success of our city, it is going to  take everyone working together to make that happen.  I intend to lead  through active engagement and be a visible part of our city.  I want to  see everyone out in different areas in the community whether it be the  grocery store, a restaurant, the movie theater, or church.  I want to be  someone you feel like you can walk up to, shake my hand, and say hello  to when you see me. We are all in this together and that is how I intend  to lead our great city.


CRIME AND SAFER COMMUNITIES 

As mayor I will work to fully staff our police force. In order to  protect our city, our police officers need to be equipped with the  proper equipment and training. I will listen to our police chief to see  what he feels is needed for the force to do their job in the most  efficient way possible. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to  curb crime in our city. The safety and security of our residents is at  the forefront of my decision to run for Mayor of Southaven. Our officers  are on the front lines of what is going on in our city and I will  listen to what they feel are the needs of our city from a safety  standpoint.


Along with police, I will make sure our fire departments have the  resources they need to respond to the emergency needs of our residents.  Without first responders where would we be? I say, we would be in a bad  place. That is why we need to work diligently to ensure they are able to  do their jobs to the best of their ability.

ABOUT TOMMY HENLEY

Tommy Henley is a proven business owner with an enormous heart for  Southaven. He is a former Southaven Charger and bleeds orange and blue  to this day. He grew up off Highway 51 in Colonial Hills. Tommy is  devoted to our city. He is raising his family here. Having owned and  operated a successful, local business, Tommy is ready to work for  Southaven and its residents.


“Southaven is a special place for my family and me. I have spent the  better part of my life working to make our city a better place. There is  more work to be done. Southaven has some big challenges ahead of it.  With the right leadership, we can rise to our potential as the ‘Top of  Mississippi’. I truly believe I have the right experience and passion  for the job,” Tommy said.


Born in 1967, Tommy has lived most of his life in Southaven. He had  numerous opportunities to venture out of DeSoto County but chose to stay  at home. Tommy cherishes our city and he wants to take care of it. He  wants to take care of it for every resident who calls Southaven home.


Tommy has no political ambitions beyond becoming Southaven’s mayor  and will make it a priority to serve every citizen of Southaven. Growing  up in a family that emphasized selfless service, Tommy still embraces  that approach today. He is acknowledged for being a successful  entrepreneur. The small business that began with just a truck and  trailer grew to a multi-million dollar business through hard work and  determination. More than a successful businessman, Tommy also has a  heart for people. He cares about people and goes out of his way to help  them. He doesn’t do this because he has to, he does it because he wants  to.


Though money was tight growing up, he was raised by his parents to be  respectful, work hard, and have empathy for others. His parents were  sharecroppers in Arkansas before moving to Mississippi. They both worked  in Southaven. His dad worked at DeSoto Redi-Mix on Stateline Road. His  mom worked at Big Star on Highway 51. At age 13, Tommy wanted to play  baseball but his parents couldn’t afford a glove for him. So, he did  what he had to do and started working at Military Surplus in Southaven  to earn money. He has been working ever since. His dream job is to work  for Southaven as your new mayor.


Tommy was a good student and graduated from Southaven High School.  Instead of college, he chose a different path………work. This decision has  worked out well for him. Tommy is able to make good judgments and quick  decisions when it comes to business. Those skills have come through  day-to-day operations of the business he has worked from the ground up.  He just gets it.


Tommy has been married to Michele Henley for 30 plus years and they have 5 daughters and two sons. Their daughters are products of DeSoto County Schools and  are thriving members of our community.  Tommy, along with his family,  has a passion for Southaven and wants what’s best for our wonderful  city.
