Joe Meeks has announced his candidacy for Monticello City Council, Ward 3, Position 2. He has been a resident of Monticello for the last 19 years, having graduated from the University of Arkansas at Monticello with a degree in Political Science. He has been employed as an engineer with AT&T for over 12 years. Mr. Meeks currently serves the community as a member of the Library Building Committee and as a volunteer fireman with the Monticello Fire Department. He is married to Kristi McKinley Meeks, a 3rd grade teacher at Drew Central. The couple has two children, Nathan 9, and Hannah 7. They are active members of First United Methodist Church, where Kristi sings in the Praise Band and Joe serves on the finance committee.

“It’s been said that from those to whom much is given much is expected. Monticello has been very good to me; I’m very proud to raise my family here. It’s time for the men and women of my generation of Monticellonians to assume the responsibility of leadership and public service. If elected, I will do my very best to work hard for the future of my children and all our citizens.”
