Nicco Warren, Former Melissa City Council Member
"Jay was the first person I met while training with a run club a few years back. I was training for my first half marathon, was lost and didn’t know anyone. He was extremely welcoming from the start. He always offered to help with either a tip or just to be a running buddy. After my race I got out of the routine of running and lost touch with the group I was training with. Fast forward to this past January, I decided to run another half marathon and I reached out to Jay. He invited me out to train with him and the others in the run club. While running he had asked follow up questions about my family and job that I had told him a couple years back. He remembered everything we chatted about on our runs and was just as warm and welcoming as he was the first time. The best leaders are those who listen and ask poignant questions that will help them to determine the course of action best suited for those he or she is leading. I can without a doubt say that Jay exemplifies the qualities of a great leader. My wife and I are honored to vote for him in the upcoming election. If you want a Mayor that will lead Melissa the right way, vote for Jay!"

🔵 “His love for the city of Melissa was very obvious and genuine. He’s already been very instrumental in helping build what Melissa currently is and I liked his desire to continue doing so as Mayor. I also love how for our ISD, schools, and teachers he is!”
🔴 “ I’ve always known Jay to be a “real” guy that is as honest as the day is long! What impressed me the most is his methodical thinking.”
🔵 “It is extremely important to me for our Mayor to be honest & full of integrity, whether it’s in a room full of people watching & listening, or all alone. Jay is like that. I know he lives his life that way… his personal and his professional life. His personal conviction & moral standard is clearly evident. He also seeks to serve, not for accolades or the limelight, but to genuinely serve out of love for people.”
