"It is the greatest of honors to represent Petal as its seventh Mayor. In 1998, I married and moved to Petal all in the same weekend, and it has honestly been one of the best decisions I've ever made. After a short stint in TV, I opened an insurance agency which ultimately landed me in the heart of downtown Petal. Running a small business and making sure the numbers match up at the end of year are close to my heart.
Moving us forward!
Petal is ripe for small business growth downtown. At the same time, regional and national stores are venturing into our commercial corridor along the Evelyn Gandy Parkway. From our top-rated school, to our safe city status, Petal's future is bright. Be assured I will work hard every day, so we can move our city forward. Building on our proud history, join me in this great adventure and we can have a city better than what we found. The best is yet to come."
- Mayor Tony Ducker
