- Local every day in
Following Time magazine's naming of President Barack Obama as their Person of the Year, we asked who you thought should be named Roswell's "Person of the Year?"
Several of you entered your nominations, telling us why you thought they deserved the honor.
Now we ask: out of the four locals nominated, who should get the title for 2012? Click here to read the reasons behind each of the four nominations.
Vote in the poll below and tell others to do that same. You must be signed in to vote in the poll. We'll close voting Friday, Jan. 4 and announce the results during the second week in January.
Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

Jay Litton for Roswell's Person of the Year for his unparalleled work, endless hours, and dedication to our community bringing employment to the unemployed, the underemployed, and the misemployed. Jay has made a real difference in our city bringing jobs and health to our neighbors.

Hi Katherine!
Unfortunately, the nomination period ended late Friday afternoon. I'm so sorry that Jay wasn't included. He sounds like a great candidate.

There are so many hardworking, unsung sheroes and heroes in Roswell. I agree about Jay Litton. I would prefer that we limit the list in the future to unpaid individuals who give of their time and energy. While Steve and Barbara are nice, hardworking people, they are doing a job. Let's look for those who do it without compensation of money.
