"I'm Jeremy Connor and I’m running for City Council. I’m Pembroke born and raised and have been lucky to have worked with some great people in this community. I participate in several community events and am the founder of the local “LumberFest” annual cancer treatment fundraiser. You’ll find me around town playing drums in several bands like LumerXown and the Re-A-Rangers. I can’t promise to fix everything, no truth telling person would."
