Wright is a 15-year Antioch resident and business owner.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a copy of his Press Release:<\/p>\n<p>Antioch, CA: Five years ago, Dr. Sean Wright took on the challenge of turning around The Antioch\u00a0 Chamber of Commerce, which was on the brink of bankruptcy. Now he wants to bring\u00a0 that same vision, passion and energy to lead Antioch as Mayor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take great pride in being a resident of Antioch,\u201d says Wright. \u201cFifteen years ago we purchased a home, and my wife and I and our 5 children moved here. We opened our chiropractic practice, served in the schools and Kiwanis.\u00a0 I joined the Chamber, becoming Chairman and ultimately CEO, making decisions that were good for the Chamber and businesses.\u00a0 I volunteered nearly 20 hours a week to create a new purpose and vision and led impactful efforts in education, economic development, public safety and poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a successful small business owner, Wright feels the need for new leadership and a new direction for Antioch. His past performance shows his ability to lead collaboratively and create a vision for the future in Antioch. Partnering with leaders from many different areas including elected officials, business, education, volunteers and government staff, his focus was, and remains, on problem solving and creating an environment conducive to future growth and vision.<\/p>\n<p>Programs that Wright has successfully helped initiate include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regional economic development collaboration in the creation of EC2: The Collaborative in partnership with the County\u2019s Northern Waterfront Initiative and Agricultural Growth Initiative which will help to create the needed local jobs to allow more of our residents to live, work and play in our community.<\/li>\n<li>Suburban Poverty Task Force bringing the City, County, Police, Code Enforcement, churches, and non-profit organizations together to educate, collaborate and initiate positive campaigns to help those in need and clean up the city.<\/li>\n<li>Education reformation at the high school level, helping business leaders and academics work together resulting in programs that are copied state-wide for their success, better preparing our Antioch students for the workforce.<\/li>\n<li>Police support and public safety through the Business Neighborhood Watch program which brings businesses together, helping to police their own areas and supporting our officers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI am running for Mayor because this town desperately needs someone with experience and a proven track record in the ability to create lasting change. Antioch has a rich history that should be celebrated and the potential for a bright future. The speed at which we get to that bright future is dependent on the person who takes over the city\u2019s leadership position. It is crucial for the success of our city and the people who live here, and for our future. I feel confident in my ability to be Mayor, leading us into the future we all desire for Antioch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Sean Wright, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/wrightformayor.com\/\">www.wrightformayor.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sean Wright, CEO of the Antioch Chamber Of Commerce announced Wednesday that he will&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12047,229],"tags":[855,14626,559,14627,549],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 -
