Jessica Higgins is the first candidate to announce her candidacy for Alderman to serve on the Smithville City Council. As founding member of Art Revolution, current Marketing Director for Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour, and owner of Nature’s Main Street, Jessica understands the role of the arts and crafts for community and economic development. Jessica currently works for Center Hill Realty as Marketing Administrator, Licensed Assistant and REALTOR®. Jessica wants to use her experience in marketing arts and business to expand the development of Smithville. One project in particular that she would like to promote is to make downtown more user friendly for people with disabilities.
Jessica is married to Chris Higgins. They have shared the joy of parenting Eleonore, Karleigh, and Amelia Atnip. Jessica and Chris also delight in time spent with Chris’ grandchildren. Cooking for friends and family is one of Jessica’s favorite things to do whenever she is given the opportunity.
Jessica’s work in the arts and crafts and business has taught her that any goal can be achieved if we are willing to think creatively to achieve it. As Alderman, Jessica wants to work with the council and citizens to build on the city’s already numerous accomplishments.
