Longtime local businessman Robert Hable, Executive Manager of Foy Motors in Many, has announced his candidacy for Mayor of Many.
“We have just gone through a year of everything being turned totally upside down, and I want to be a part of a growing, thriving community that serves all of its citizens,” Hable said. “There are a lot of great people in Sabine Parish, we have a lot of diversity, and I’ve been able to make a wonderful life here because of that. So, it came down to a choice: I could put my head in the sand, pretend everything will be okay, and say, ‘You know what, I’m not gonna do this’ or I could dig deep into my heart and give everything I’ve got to do all the good I can for this town. And that’s what I intend to do.”
A protégé of the late Julian Foy, Hable came to Many from Shreveport in March 1998 to work at Foy Chevrolet after getting his Business Administration degree at Northwestern State University.
It is no surprise that Hable says one of his top priorities is seeing more businesses move into Many and Sabine Parish. While he is encouraged that some businesses are expanding and leaving San Antonio Ave. to move to bigger locations, he is concerned about who will fill those empty storefronts. “We need to draw businesses to this area,” Hable said.
