ABOUT CHRISTY MAY DAVIS
My name is Christy May Davis and I am running to be the Mayor of Jackson.
I was elected to City Council as board member in November 2024 and immediately jumped into action. Beyond my time on the council, I have continued to serve the public. I am hoping to continue this and broaden my efforts as mayor.
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 Jackson. It has been sometime since we have had strong, dedicated representation on city council.
My Values & Where We Started
Respect the Taxpayer
Fix the Basics
Move Jackson Forward

A Little Bit More about my Background
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 was elected to City Council in 2024. Since then, I have been hard at work, learning the ropes and making good on my promises.
SO, HERE WE ARE! I am excited about the possibility of having a greater impact on OUR COMMUNITY. Now I not only have political experience, but I still 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.
My promise to you: HELP YOU, LISTEN TO YOU, WORK FOR YOU and SUPPORT YOU TO THRIVE IN ANYWAY I CAN.
Thank You,
Christy May Davis
