As a mom with two children in Troy Schools and wife to a proud Athens graduate, I’m running for Troy City Council because our city is the best place to raise a family, and I want to keep it that way. For 70 years, Troy stands as a powerful example of what happens when a community cares for one another. From the ground up, we built a vibrant and safe city where families and businesses can thrive, supported by an outstanding police department and a proud volunteer fire department. Moving Troy forward means we need to invest in the right things for Troy, today. My experience as someone who grew up in a small, family-owned business and worked her way up from the shop floor to the boardroom means I know how to make tough decisions, build solid partnerships and keep our hard-earned tax dollars going towards what matters most to:
o Keep Troy Safe … support our Police, EMS and Fire Departments
o Keep Troy Together… through parks, trails, greenspaces and community centers ensuring people of every age remain active and involved
o Keep Troy Growing… attract and retain businesses and families committed to strengthening our incredible community. Keeping Troy Safe, Together and Growing requires a bold leader who knows how to get things done. Put my decades of experience as a proven leader, active mom and confident community builder to work for you.
