Josh DeSalvo, R

My name is Josh Desalvo, I am currently seeking your support for the position of City Councilman Ward 6. 
 
I have lived in our community since 1977 and have two sons John, 22 and Jared, 16. I am engaged to Lori Simmons and excited that within the next year my family will double in size adding two beautiful daughters, Victoria, 24 and Issabella, 19.
 
Many of you may remember me from my previous employer, ABC Rental. I managed the Bay St. Louis branch from 1994 to 2006 during a time that our business saw substantial growth. 

I am the owner of Waterslides of the Coast that I opened in 2006. I am proud to say what started out as one jumpy and a truck now has turned into the largest inflatable company on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I currently serve as Chairman of the Hancock County Water and Sewer District and The Chairman of the Hancock County Utility Authority.
 
I decided to seek this position because, I witnessed firsthand that by making the right decisions and working together as a team, the possibilities for our community are endless.
 
 “For a positive day in the Bay!”

Lonnie Falgout, I (I)

Four years ago the wonderful citizens and property owners of Ward 6 elected me as their BSL Councilman. As difficult as things may be viewed by some at times, the task of representing your Ward and then being objective to all of BSL citizens is a very delicate balancing act.

​I've always cherished in volunteering in whatever I could to promote a better BSL for over 25 years, in my capacity as Councilman it has given me the opportunity to enhance BSL, legislate for a better BSL and improve the quality of life for all in BSL. I look forward to working with the individuals our people select both in the Administration and Councilman sides of government for the next four years.
