About Mary
As a former English teacher and dedicated volunteer, I’ve spent years working to support local businesses, public safety, and the arts. As Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, I’ve helped strengthen New Hope’s business community while ensuring that our town’s growth remains balanced with the needs of our residents.
As a mother of six, I understand the importance of strong schools, accessible community resources, and maintaining the welcoming, inclusive spirit that makes New Hope unique. I’m running for mayor to bring thoughtful, community-first leadership to the town I’ve called home for 15 years.
When I’m not working to support our community, you’ll often find me cheering on my kids in their many adventures—watching them do what they love is one of my greatest joys. I’ve rekindled my love for reading through audiobooks and podcasts, though nothing quite compares to holding a real book in hand. I’ve also developed a passion for pickleball, loving the competition, growth, and camaraderie it brings. Walking through New Hope and connecting with small business owners, neighbors, and visitors reminds me how special it is to be part of a close-knit community.
