The six candidates for the contested races in the Kilgore City Commission election, incumbent Wilbur F. Yates and Jamie Ware in Place 1, incumbent Janice Hancock and Gary L. Davis in Place 3 and incumbent Rex Whitten and Billy Bob Brady in Place 4 got a chance to speak before the Kilgore Lions Club at Thursday afternoon s meeting. Lion David Ivins presided over the event. Ware won the toss, but elected to kick off, allowing Yates to speak first. I feel strongly about creating jobs, which helps create a tax base, Yates said. Ware said that one reason he s running is because of certain areas in town he believes are being overlooked.
