Dennis Lewis announces campaign for Mayor of Rockwall

Place 4 Councilman wants to “keep city’s success on solid footing”

ROCKWALL, TX (Dec. 30, 2014) Councilman Dennis Lewis is preparing for the coming new year by announcing his candidacy for Mayor of Rockwall.

“After careful consideration and much prayer, Clarissa and I have decided I can best continue to serve our community as Mayor,” said Lewis, a resident of Chandler’s Landing. “I have been honored to serve on the City Council these past two-and-a-half years, and I believe I can be of greater help to my friends and neighbors by leading it.”

First elected to City Hall in 2012, Lewis chose to run for office out of a duty to give back to Rockwall, where he and his wife have raised three children, all Rockwall High School graduates.

“As a construction executive with more than 35 years’ experience, I believe I am uniquely qualified to maintain all that we have built in Rockwall,” said Lewis. “Growth will also continue in our city, and we must keep working together and plan for this growth responsibly.”

Lewis said he is most proud of never having to raise taxes while serving on the council. He serves on the council’s Finance and Audit Committee, among others.

“I will continue to see that City Hall lives within its means as Mayor,” Lewis said. “We have been successful here in Rockwall out of a commitment to sound fiscal principles, and there is no reason for us not to continue to be fiscally smart.”

Prior to becoming a councilman, Lewis served on the Rockwall Planning and Zoning Commission. He is currently a city representative on the board of the Rockwall County Emergency Services Corporation.

Lewis is the Vice-President of Potter Concrete LTD., one of the largest concrete contractors in the country. He has served in leadership positions with both the Texas Construction Association and the American Subcontractors Association – North Texas Chapter. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University. His wife Clarissa is a Registered Nurse and works at Texas Heath Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall. Clarissa also served for many years as the school nurse at Reinhardt Elementary School in Rockwall ISD.

The election for Mayor will be held May 9, 2015.
