throughout trying events in the community as inspiration behind his decision to

dysfunction that he said has stunted the city’s growth. He noted the greatness

within Warner Robins and said that an attainable vision for the city is the key

to maximizing its potential. Chalk’s plan for progress includes greater importance placed

on fairness, respect and the individual citizen’s involvement with local

government all in hopes of facing “a brighter tomorrow.”

from Georgia College and State University in 2010 and is currently in the

process of fulfilling a master’s degree in organized leadership at Mercer

University.

Originally from Detroit, Chalk was raised in Cordele and has 26 years of

service within the United States Air Force, presently being the Team Leader for

a $200+ program at Robins Air Force Base.

Additionally, Chalk leads a weekly adult Sunday school class

and participates as a member of the Rotary Club.
