Longtime resident and local banker David Baskett files for Stephenville City Council.
Longtime Stephenville resident David Baskett has filed to run for place 1 on the Stephenville City Council, currently held by Mark McClinton who announced last week that he will not seek another term.
“I respect Mark McClinton and think he has been a real asset to the community,” Baskett told Beneath the Surface News. “He is leaving some big shoes to fill, and I am excited to take on the challenge of serving on the city council.”
Baskett is the branch manager of Home Soon, a local mortgage company located in downtown Stephenville.
“This is my hometown and I love it,” he said. “I am excited about all the great things happening here and looking forward to what’s coming next.”
