Barbara Hisey for Ardmore City Commission

Seniors living in Ardmore need access to more opportunities in order to live an active lifestyle. Let's make Ardmore a city that gives folks every opportunity to thrive in their golden years.

The streetscape on East Main is beautiful. Let's continue the boulevard up and down Main Street to make Ardmore a "destination downtown."

Let's promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all Ardmoreites.

As a resident of Ardmore since 1977, I've gotten to serve on a number of civic and charitable organizations. I would be honored to serve as a city commissioner for the SW ward to help continue the great progress our community has made. Ardmore has accomplished great things in the past few years and I want to build on that momentum. Our community has seen tremendous economic growth and, with it, the opening of a number of new businesses and restaurants. As an MBA and retired C...PA, this expansion in our economy excites me greatly. However, the challenge now facing Ardmore is attracting and retaining a qualified workforce to fill these new jobs. One of the keys to this is improving quality of life for all of our citizens. I would propose that we accomplish this by building or expanding on the following: continuing investment in Main Street to make it a "destination downtown" expanding access to recycling through more drop-off locations or a city-wide ordinance to provide residential recycling bins creating new bike lanes and walking trails in our city to encourage outdoor activity providing more activities for seniors and young people I believe that my background makes me well-suited to take on this task. Civic organizations I've participated in: Ardmore Development Authority: 7 years, treasurer and chairman Ardmore Planning Commission: 6 years, vice-chairman Ardmore Beautification Council: 5 years, treasurer Ardmore Main Street Authority: 2 years, treasurer Mercy Hospital Board: 6 years CrossTimbers Hospice Board: 8 years, Treasurer and Vice-chairman Leadership Ardmore: Class 3 Leadership Oklahoma: Class 13 Precinct 19 election volunteer: 7 years Educational and professional background: BA in Psychology BS in Accounting/Business Administration MBA Retired CPA Please vote for me on April 6th!

Thank you to the Ardmoreite for providing an opportunity to get to know each of the candidates.
