ABOUT CHRISTY MAY DAVIS

                                                                                                  Happy Election Season!

                                                                                                  My name is Christy May Davis and I am running to be the City   

                                                                                                  Council Representative for Ward 5. If you are unfamiliar with the                                                                                                      boundary lines they are: Glenwood/ Harwood to the South,                                                                                                              Jackson Street to the East, Ganson to the North and West Avenue                                                                                                      to the West.

                                                                                                  When elected, my goal is to foster a community of Compassion,                                                                                                        Communication and Connection. It is my viewpoint that these are                                                                                                      the three key components to creating a better Ward 5. It has been                                                                                                      sometime since we have had strong, dedicated representation on                                                                                                      city council.

                                                                                                   

 

~ Compassion- Neighbors need to start caring for and getting to know each other again. We have had some fun days in my block and even come out to help each other during emergencies.

~ Communication- I have spoken with many residents in the city who know very little of what is happening around the city, whether good OR bad. Often people don’t even know who to go to for help, whether it is a city hall issue or something a non-profit could assist to solve.

 

~ Connection- I am working on a directory of local/small businesses and non-profits to help encourage neighbors to use neighbors.
 

~ Adopt a Block that would also encompass all three of these components and I can’t wait to tell you about it!

My daughter and I have lived on Fourth- between Franklin and Biddle, since 2006. I work from home for the hospital, attend Jackson Free Methodist Church in Vandercook and have since 1986 and The Summit in Summit, just this year. I love music, especially singing, playing percussion and piano and my hobbies include photography and painting and leading my daughters Girl Scout Troop! After getting divorced in 2016 and with the help of my family, I started over as a very nervous, city living, single mom, in a neighborhood that has good and bad years. As I got back on my feet, I soon after, I realized I was NOT the only nervous person and I decided I had sat on the sidelines long enough. I began by doing a Ward 5 clean up in 2023; with the amazing help of Laura Schlecte and was able to work all the city pieces into place for me! I started attending City Council meetings in early 2023 and have continued.

SO, HERE WE ARE! I am excited about the possibility of having a greater impact on OUR COMMUNITY. I may not have political experience, but I have a heart for OUR COMMUNITY. I have met with MANY department heads at City Hall, including attending meetings for various boards and commissions. I have met with Sheriff Schuette, Fire Deputy Gonzales and Police/Fire Chief Hitt. Additionally, I have done a full 12 hour shift ride along with the police department on the Saturday night of a holiday weekend. I have connected with several non-profits including JARC(Jackson Area Recovery Community) getting NARCAN training and carrying NARCAN. I attend as many events as possible downtown and around the city, usually with my daughter in tow and we have a great time! I shop downtown, eat downtown, work and live just outside of downtown.

It's time to me get off the proverbial bench and into the real time game!

My promise to you: HELP YOU, LISTEN TO YOU, WORK FOR YOU and SUPPORT YOU TO THRIVE IN ANYWAY I CAN.
