Safety in the City is number one.

The proof is in the city council meeting minutes.
Rail safety. I have been a strong advocate for the residents of the City to ensure that the residents of FXBG are safe. I have successfully held CSX accountable and have proof of the safety changes that I fought for to keep us all safer. (Example: daily log of what rail cars are on the City railroad tracks and what type of hazards are around us all ) I will continue to fight for the safety all residents of Ward 4 and the entire City. The proof is in the City council meeting minutes.
FXBG Advance: Briefly explain why you would be a good fit for the office you are pursuing.
Frye: I Love being a lifelong resident of the City of Fredericksburg and I have a strong passion to make sure that everyone in the City can enjoy the quality of life that we all deserve. As the only minority councilman since 2014 I will continue to make sure that every residents voice is always heard. A lot of residents in the city are working as hard as they can just to make a way for themselves and family and the residents of Ward 4 deserve the proven leadership experience that I bring to table. I’m a hard working man and I don’t stop with a situation until the the results are working well for everyone.
