Mike McIntire, Candidate for Kingsport Board of Mayor and Alderman interview
Listen to the April 17 WJCW radio interview with Mike McIntire who is seeking a seat on the Kingsport Board of Mayor and Alderman
A recent Kingsport Times-News article below gives additional information on Mike McIntire.
McIntire worked at Eastman Chemical Co. for 34 years in research and development, business and corporate development, and retired in 1999. He then went to work at First Broad Street United Methodist Church in 2001 as church business administrator.
“I feel that I need to continue to serve, contribute and be a part of this community that I very much love. I bring skills and foresight to do that,” McIntire said.
If elected, McIntire said he would like to see the King College School of Medicine locate in Kingsport, possibly in downtown.
“The economy is our most pressing challenge, and I think we need to address that and not pull back,” McIntire said. “We need to keep moving in three ways — find ways to help our businesses, support the search for new businesses, and continue to promote the Move to Kingsport initiative. We need these people to come here to live, to work and who even are retired.”
