Marc Dixon, of Wright Township, has announced his run for Luzerne County Council.
A Republican, Dixon, 47, is originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, and relocated to Northeastern Pennsylvania in 2005 to be closer to his family.
He is a business development director for Kodak Alaris, where he is responsible for more than 50 accounts in the United States, Canada and South America. In addition to business development, he handles marketing, legal and financial responsibilities.
Dixon believes his unique work experience will prove invaluable when working with other council members to address some of the challenges facing the county.
“I would like to see more emphasis on job creation in our area,” says Dixon. “We need to do more to create good-paying jobs and quality of life for our residents.”
More information is available on his Facebook page under “Mark Dixon for Luzerne County Council.” He also is hosting a “meet and greet” from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 27, at Sabatini’s Bottleshop & Bar on Wyoming Avenue in Exeter.
