Vote yes to re-elect Mayor Tim Verzal. I would describe Mayor Verzal’s last term of office with three words; commitment, experience, performance. Mayor Verzal, who loves Deer Park, has done an excellent job. He has done an amazing amount of improvements. Major work to both city parks, new business and residential expansion, a new Fire Station and a new water tower, new intersection road improvements, just to name a few. Tim Verzal gets it done! He is my choice to Mayor.
