I am proud to endorse Tonya Graham for Ashland mayor.
Over the 12 years I have known this energetic woman, I have gotten to know her many skills. I have seen her manage a houseful of children, a full-time job as executive director of Geos Institute, volunteer for the community (raising money for turf for the high school; running Senior All-Night for many years), be active in her church, and juggle all this with good humor, grace and unflappability. She’s the most grounded person I know.
Tonya understands budgets, the environment, housing, how to grow the local economy and much more. She knows how to research perplexing issues, find common ground among those with opposing views and work well with others without giving up her firm principles. Those skills got her elected as city councilor, and they will stand her in good stead as mayor. Please give her your vote.
