Mary as an Elected Official

Call Answered

I was first appointed to a vacated position in May of 2021.  Six months later the seat was up for election, and I ran, unopposed.  I never sought this position; rather, it came to me.  I realize it was a calling that I answered, and God made a way for me to win that election, by not bringing any opponents.  I have since had a confirmation that it was a calling from my God, and I am happy to have obliged.

Integrity Matters

As an elected official, it is my duty to represent citizens to the best of my abilities.  I try to make the best decisions, sometimes very hard decisions, that will better the lives of members of my community.  I don’t make decisions based on who will or will not vote me back into office in the future.  I work to make a difference today and do what is best for the greater good TODAY. 

I Love Serving

I truly enjoy serving my community.  I can say without a doubt, that I made a difference in my first term as an elected officer.  In this first term, there are two accomplishments that I’m very proud of and both will SAVE LIVES.

• Merger of the City of Riverdale and Clayton County Fire Services
• Creation and Implementation of Riverdale’s Float Like a Boat program

This is the final year of my first term.  It may or may not be my last term.  I prepare for tomorrow but live for today and I follow God’s direction for my next move. He may want me to stay in this role longer and if so, he will provide a clear confirmation and clear the path for it to happen. He may also be ready for me to move on and help in other areas; and allow someone else to step into this seat.  

If this does end up being my last year in office, I have no complaints and can leave with my head held very high.  Because, I know that a decision I made and a program I created will indeed save a life, if it hasn’t already done so.  Either way, I’m giving Riverdale the best that I have to give in 2025.
