ENDORSEMENTS
"Being a leader in government is always a challenge, but being a leader in local government, in your hometown, in your neighborhood, is one of the most challenging of all forms of representative government. Kathy Parker has proven time and time again that she values people, values logical, practical growth and values the health, safety and well-being of her district and her hometown. I find her to not only be an amazing representative of her district, but a great friend and advisor. The city has grown and continues to put citizens first under her watch. She loves and respects this city and ALL of our citizens. She has earned her stripes as a City Councilor. Let's keep her there!"
-- John Dennis, Mayor of West Lafayette
"It has been my honor to work with Councilwoman Kathy Parker. She is honest, forward thinking, and loyal in her service of the West Lafayette community. Kathy Parker does not shy away from hard issues. She will not bend to anything or anyone who does not work for the good of West Lafayette. She is present and engaged in many areas of the community. She is the best choice as a Council representative for this city. I totally, and without reservations, support Kathy Parker for City Council."
-- Sana Booker, West Lafayette City Clerk

For fun, Kathy loves spending time with her family and walking around our beautiful parks. She can be found early most mornings either on the elliptical machine or in the pool at the West Lafayette Wellness Center.
