POLITICS Most Responsive Politician Val Applewhite Val Applewhite first came to Fayetteville in 1994, serving at Pope Air Force Base. After retiting from the military, she served in the Pentagon as a Department of Defense civilian, and was there on 9/11. She returned to Fayetteville in 2005, and since that time she has been actively engaged in the community, representing western Fayetteville on the Fayetteville City Council. During her tenure, she has been an advocate for the people in her district and Fayetteville residents as a whole. Today, Applewhite is one of several local residents running for mayor, and our poll results show that local residents believe in her. Most Respected Politician D.J. Haire D.J. Haire is a native of Fayetteville. He is now serving his eighth term on the Fayetteville City Council, and has served as Mayor Pro Tempore. A graduate of Destiny Bible College, he has been an active member of the council as well as involved in numerous civic organizations. He has run his own business for more than 30 years and when not running his business and serving on the council he spends time working on his You Tube Christian program called Kingdom Buildin Bridges Ministries. It no wonder the Haire has earned the respect of the community.
