North Dallas Gazette believes Young Sung is the right choice for Carrollton

NDG’s View

After carefully studying the two candidates running for Carrollton City Council, Place 2, the North Dallas Gazette is proud to recommend Mr. Young Sung as the right man for the job at this time in the history of Carrollton.

As a businessman seeking to bring his international experience to the City of Carrollton, his opponent doesn’t have that experience.) Young Sung is fluent in both English and Korean; he has a diverse background as a court interpreter, successful real estate broker, which could ultimately bring new international development to the city, a court mediator and Department of Justice language consultant. Sung has completed nearly three years of law classes and has been qualified through the F.B.I. as an interpreter.

Carrollton is a thriving city on the brink of even bigger growth. The Historic Downtown is undergoing a transformation with more walking and play space with the renovations and construction to a new park on the Downtown Carrollton Square, the site of concerts and other special events throughout the year. Compared to other suburbs such as Garland, Carrollton has done an excellent job with the combination of living, working and playing in their downtown community. With the completion of the 35Express project in the coming year, the area will only continue to thrive.

According to his recent campaign materials Sung believes, “More sales tax revenue will stabilize residential tax base, and, for that reason alone, a lot of emphasis should be placed on economic development with smart use of available land and existing commercial and residential properties.”

Having a progressive and savvy business minded council member will help to strengthen Carrollton’s visionary growth plan.

Young Sung is active in his community and has been endorsed by the Korean Society of North Texas as well as the former councilmember and Mayor Pro Tem, Shirley Tarpley who is also the Religion Editor of the North Dallas Gazette.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Management from Maryville College in Tennessee and his keen sense of business experience; a MBA from Letourneau University in Longview, TX; a member of the Korean Chamber of Commerce; a member and deacon at the Korean United Central Methodist Church and a family man with a wife and two kids, he has a vested interest in the future success of Carrollton, there he has the best to offer the citizens of Carrollton with a new voice and a new vision.

As a result, the North Dallas Gazette fully endorses Young Sung for Councilman for the City of Carrollton in Place 5. To see where your local voting location is visit here.
