He said he did a lot of door-knocking and worked to get his name out.
“I really listened to people about what was needed in the township,” he said.
Centers said he got a lot of compliments about the township and also learned that some were upset about the fire levy on the ballot.
“Some of them wanted it, some of them didn’t,” he said.
He also said that many residents in the unincorporated part of the township do not want to be annexed by a city.
As for a future fire levy, Centers said he wants to do an autopsy on the levy and why it failed.
After he takes office, Centers wants to get a lay of the land and learn what the township’s budget is as well as its expenditures and try to build some synergies.
Centers’ father Denny, Franklin’s mayor, was re-elected to a new four-year term Tuesday.
Jennings said late Tuesday night, “I’m quite humbled and I’m trying to soak it in right now. “I’m excited to take the seat and I’m taking it with open arms.”
He declined to comment about any future fire levies, but said he wants to concentrate on the township’s infrastructure, roads, buildings, fire equipment, cemetery and the fire department.
