Mark Your Calendars: General Election – June 3, 2025
Our Hattiesburg. My Heart.
Hattiesburg isn’t just where I live–it’s who I am. Born, raised, and raising my own family here, I know firsthand the strength of our community, the potential of our people, and the opportunities we must seize to continue building a stronger, more connected city.
My husband, Nick, and I have built our lives in Hattiesburg, raising our two boys in the only hometown either of us has ever known. I want them–and every family here–to see Hattiesburg as more than a stop along the way, but a destination where dreams are realized, businesses thrive, and communities flourish.
I’m running for Hattiesburg City Council, Ward 3 because I believe in investing in our people, infrastructure, and future. We need to keep our homegrown talent here, ensuring Hattiesburg isn’t just a place people pass through but a place they proudly choose to stay and invest in long-term. That means building a city with modernized infrastructure, meaningful economic opportunities for all, and a deep sense of belonging.
Let’s work together to grow, evolve, and strengthen the city we love–because Hattiesburg’s best days are ahead.

Hattiesburg is more than just a city–it’s home. It’s where families grow, businesses thrive, and generations build their legacies. Our rich history and deep sense of community are what make this city special, and it’s time we celebrate and strengthen that identity. By fostering local pride and investing in what makes Hattiesburg unique, we can create a city that honors its past while embracing an even brighter future.
Retaining Talent
Hattiesburg is a Destination,
Not a Stepping Stone
Too often, we see our brightest minds leave for opportunities elsewhere. It’s time to change that narrative by creating an environment where young professionals, entrepreneurs, and families want to stay, grow, and invest. By supporting local businesses, expanding career opportunities, and enhancing quality of life, we can ensure Hattiesburg is more than just a stop along the way. When we retain talent, we strengthen our economy, our culture, and our community for generations to come.
Building Our
City’s Future
Strengthening the Foundations
of Our City
A thriving city starts with a strong infrastructure. From modernizing roads and utilities to improving public spaces and connectivity, we can build a foundation that supports growth and enhances daily life for every resident. Smart, strategic development ensures our neighborhoods are safe, accessible, and equipped for the future. Investing in infrastructure isn’t about fixing what’s broken–it’s about creating a city that works for everyone, today and tomorrow.
