Episode Details

Mayor Wade Evans, who’s led Central since 2022 and served the community for eight years total, announced he won’t seek re-election — a decision born of prayer, reflection, and deep conversations with his closest advisors. During his tenure, he oversaw nearly $75 million in grants, resurfaced 45 miles of roads, upgraded drainage and flood control, and built the city’s first permanent City Hall — laying a solid foundation for Central’s future. He also candidly addressed the toll of public service, lamenting how social media fuels division, while urging a return to respectful civic engagement. Evans, who still burns with passion for problem-solving and community service, sees this as the perfect time to step into a new chapter — one where his experience will continue to serve the city he loves. He leaves with gratitude, peace, and unwavering confidence in Central’s bright future.
