Building A Brighter Decatur

Vote August 26th

Deep Roots in our Community.

Nick Perkins grew up right outside of Decatur in Hillsboro, and has lived in North Alabama all his life. The son of an educator and a custodian, Nick and his two siblings were raised with strong family values, and attended church service twice per week. Like so many, he grew up in a community that looked out for one another, and that was especially true for the children. Today, Nick and his wife Angie are raising their children with these same values. Nick is committed to making sure that Decatur is the kind of place where every child have their best chance to succeed.
