Special: Ricky Pickett Announces Candidacy for Florence Mayor

 

I am declaring as a candidate for Mayor of Florence. I grew up in Russellville, but call Florence home. First, I am retiring from NASA after 37 years. I will be 58 in March. 

In engineering, there is something we refer to as a transfer function. Inputs in, through, and then output. A mechanical example is a motor/gear system. Current in, torque out. In a municipality, more inputs, more outputs, and in the case of a trajectory, disturbances. 

Also, running a city, is similar to an investment manager, where your clients are the people of your city. I hope to put my technical mind, to work for the people of Florence.
