Welcome. I’m Kelly McCorkle Parkison — and I’m running for City Council.

Not as a career politician.
Not for power, or to benefit personally.

But as a neighbor who cares deeply about the people and families who make this city home.

For me, this campaign is rooted in three words:

Faith. Family. Community.

Faith guides my decisions — it shapes how I lead, how I treat people, and how I approach service with humility and integrity.

Family reminds me why this work matters — every policy, every vote, every choice impacts the homes, children, parents, seniors, and future generations who live here.

Community is my heartbeat — because strong neighborhoods are built through connection, kindness, and collaboration.

I’m not stepping into this race with an agenda — I’m stepping into it to listen, to show up, and to work alongside you. I believe solutions start at kitchen tables, in coffee shops, on ballfields, and across front porches where real life happens. Leadership should begin there too.

I want to continue to build a city where:

• Families feel supported and heard
• Local businesses are valued and able to thrive
• Decisions are transparent, honest, and community-focused
• Faith and character shape how we lead and how we treat one another

This campaign belongs to neighbors, to everyday people who love this city and believe in its future. If you want leadership that serves… if you want a councilwoman that listens, cares, and works with heart…

Then I invite you to join me.

Because I am a neighbor, not a politician.
And together, we can strengthen faith, support families, and continue to build a community we’re proud to call home.
