Her plans for the city include a solid focus on educational opportunities and resources for local schools, as well as pushing for improved infrastructure to keep up with Trussville’s growth. “Effective communication with our residents will be key,” she noted, emphasizing the importance of keeping everyone in the loop regarding developments in the city.

Community Advocacy

Bright is not only an active political figure but also the founder and CEO of the Will Bright Foundation, a venture launched in memory of her son. This foundation aims to combat the stigma surrounding drug addiction and aids individuals in their recovery journey by providing education and transitional living solutions. Her advocacy at the state and national levels, including working with the Governor’s Opioid Task Force Council, highlights her dedication to tackling some of the city’s pressing issues.

As Bright embarks on her journey toward the mayor’s office, she expresses genuine gratitude for the support from her loved ones, including her husband Bill and daughters Ashley and Amy. “I humbly ask for your support and vote,” she conveyed to her community, urging everyone to join her in working towards a brighter future for Trussville. “Thank you for believing in me and in the vision we share for our community.”
