Whan II
Candidate for Marco City
I am Edward Whan II, candidate for Marco City, and I am running because Marco City deserves a leader who is truly invested in people, not just in words, but in action.

Before any title or profession, I am a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Family is my foundation, and community is my calling.
I am a community-driven leader who believes in protecting and preserving our way of life while creating meaningful progress for the constituents of Marco City. Leadership is not about position; it is about service. I stand ready to serve with compassion, experience, and an unwavering dedication to every generation in this community.
