There’s a new contender of Hopkinsville City Council in Ward 6, after Nichelle’ Hillis filed her paperwork to seek that seat Friday at the Christian County Clerk’s Office.
According to a letter of candidacy by Hillis, she states that all Hopkinsville residents deserve to have their voices heard and be equally represented by leaders who will advocate for them. The Democrat says, “I have been a resident of Hopkinsville, Kentucky for thirty-three years, and I love my city. I’m employed by Kentucky Housing Corporation, with ten years of experience in the housing industry. My experience allows me to see one of the basic needs for a successful life. As an organizer, community builder, and visionary, I am ready to serve my community in this capacity.”
The seat is currently held by Republican Travis Martin, who has filed to seek reelection.
