Dr. Dwain Porter
for
Ashland, KY City Commissioner
I Love my city and when you love something, you want to protect it and watch it grow.
Why run for office? I want to be part of the solution not the problem.
I don’t stand on the sidelines, when there is a need for leadership.
The position of a servant leader in America is to provide opportunity and the freedom to have that opportunity.
Jobs, Freedom, Family, Faith, Opportunity.
A Servant Leader
Is a listener first. My job is to promote and enforce the needs of the people’s majority.
A Vision For The Future
The future of our city and nation are the teachers, coaches and churches. Let’s promote our future.
Bottom line, I wish to leave my community in a better position than when I came to Ashland in 1961. I have a passion to be a statesman, “do the right thing.” Not only to be a servant leader but to be a noble role model as well. We are all role models, good or bad, but we are still role models. I wish to inspire responsibility to the awesome people of Ashland to become better citizens. “It’s not who we are it is who we can become.” JFK once said, “Ask not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I would like to go a step further and add; “what can I do for myself that makes me a better person, which in turn helps others.”
Passion
Challenges we face as a community
A servant leader is a listener first. For many years now I have been asking our citizens: What are the challenges and burdens that we face as a community? Unsurprisingly and predictably the answers have been; Crime, Poverty, Mental and Physical Health, Homelessness, Drug Addiction, Work Force, Jobs, Family. Of course there are other challenges but these eight answers were overwhelmingly chosen. It is very important to make conscientious decisions when it comes to distributing money in our city. We must know the need, purpose, benefit, risk, and budget, prior to making these decisions. Every challenge and burden above has a common denominator, “Drugs!” Public enemy number 1; “Illicit, illegal, and the abuse of Drugs”. When we face and tackle our epidemic of drug abuse we tackle our major challenges. Of course, there are other challenges in our community we need to address, but the illegal distribution, sell, and use of drugs are a battle we can fight and win. We may not be able to eradicate drugs in our community but we can absolutely reduce the use of illegal drugs that destroy lives, families, our economy, and the people we love.
1. Prevention (teach anatomy, physiology, and how the body functions as early as kindergarten age.) Teach the harms of certain foods, cigarettes, vaping, alcohol, and drugs, in our schools, churches, homes, TV, radio and social media.
2. Using illegal drugs is a crime. Treat it as so.
3. If a dealer is arrested for selling drugs from across our state line, Triple the offense should be administered to the killer. Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, etc. dealers, you are not welcome.
4. Those who seek help with their addiction kind find leaders and sponsors through our community programs.
5. It is not humane to leave an individual on the street that is controlled by drugs and alcohol. They are in need of shelter and help, that they are incapable of supporting themselves.
This will get me in trouble with those who feel guilty. Our top brass government doesn’t care if you are on drugs. Drugs and alcohol are controlling mechanisms of the masses. This should be an issue and public enemy number one, in every politicians fight.
To our sisters, brothers, children, and parents, It is worth the fight!

We believe
Whether it be senate, congress, governor, or city commissioner, no one should retain office for more than eight years.
The constitution, The preamble to the Constitution, and the Amendments to the Constitution. Number 28 should be term limitations for all politically served offices.
NO to medical marijuana. According to the CDC and American Psychiatric Association it is a gateway (staircase) drug. Smoke inhalation is harmful, period.
All public officials should be randomly drug tested.
Never again should we shut down our economy like our political leaders did during COVID. More people died of drugs, alcohol, loneliness, mental illness, domestic violence, and penury; (all caused by the government shut down), than COVID. We now know the masks were un-necessary and caused more harm than what they supposedly helped. Alcohol sales skyrocketed. EVERYONE is ESSENTIAL.
We believe a job is a privilege.
Thank you, to our business leaders for providing jobs.
Strong supporter of our Police department.
