Missy EvansMayor, Hartselle, AL
“Our campaign slogan was, ‘Let's get moving,’ and that really was intentionally meant to reflect a couple of different things. First of all, a more collaborative approach to our community.”
Tracy SaundersMayor, Port Wentworth, GA
“The biggest challenge of running as an independent is that you don't have built-in big party support. Being able to pull in supporters from both parties was a benefit, but it is much harder without that built-in support system.”
Kimberly HaaseCity Council, Acworth, GA
“It's about the people and helping the people, and not getting caught up in the bureaucracy of party-driven campaigns.”
