Kalinda Westbrook announces her candidacy for city council

Posted

Kalinda Westbrook has authorized The Gatesville Messenger to announce her candidacy for Gatesville City Council, Council Member Ward 2, Place 6, in the upcoming election.

I support Gatesville and wish to serve the city while promoting continued financial stability. My focus will be on public safety, public infrastructure, parks & recreation facilities, and the efforts to solidify downtown Gatesville’s historic designation. I believe that strengthening these areas will provide a healthy environment for business growth, thereby keeping Gatesville a desirable place to live and raise a family.   

My husband and I moved to Gatesville in 1982 and have resided at our current residence since 2002. We raised two sons and have been involved in the schools and city since then.

I began working in the accounting field in 1981 where most of my career was spent auditing for governmental programs and working in school district finance, retiring as a school district Business Manager in 2021. During that time, I also gained experience with the mechanics of audits, budgets, and grants, with an understanding of the intricacies of governmental accounting. I believe these experiences have given me a unique area of expertise I could bring to the Gatesville City Council.

Please follow me on Facebook for more details. Your vote and support would be greatly appreciated.
