Ashland is entering a new and challenging era of local governance, and Tonya Graham is the ideal person to be our new mayor.
As a city councilor, she is well-prepared for meetings, and she asks excellent questions in an effort to gain a thorough understanding of facts and circumstances. She is always responsive to citizen input, and her friendly, collaborative style brings people together to bridge divides.
The mayor is Ashland’s voice, our civic ambassador. Tonya’s uncanny ability to objectively address complex issues in understandable ways will greatly improve the quality of community discourse.
We already know the impacts of climate change will have a profound impact on what is expected of governments at all levels. Tonya’s lifelong work on climate issues makes her eminently suited to make Ashland a national leader for adaptation and carbon mitigation.
