The road that led incoming mayor Courtney Shipley to local politics was quite literally a road. Shipley, who lives on Kasold Drive, said she first started going to public input meetings hosted by the city in 2015 amid the debate over the redesign of a section of Kasold Drive that runs directly in front of her house. The public meetings and debate about the road project went on for more than a year and led her to a City Commission meeting, where she would become a regular attendee. “I got interested in other stuff they were discussing,” Shipley said, adding that commission discussions can sometimes span multiple meetings. “And so that’s why I started just coming every week.”
