Mary has called Indiana home for more than 30 years. After leaving for military training, she returned to Evansville to raise her three daughters in the community she loves. Today, she and her husband, Greg, live in downtown Evansville, where they enjoy time with their two grandchildren.
Mary is an At-Large City Councilor and Vice President of the Evansville City Council. She serves on Vanderburgh County's Solid Waste Board and the Evansville Metropolitan Planning Organization. Mary has been a small business owner for more than 15 years. She owned Sixth and Zero until November of 2025. She and her husband Greg co-own Virginia Street Properties, where they have rehabbed several homes to support neighborhood improvements.
Service has always been at the heart of Mary’s life. She has invested decades in strengthening her community by serving 10 years in a nonprofit urban ministry, creating a neighborhood garden, and investing in mental health. Today, she chairs the Enterprise Zone board, working to revitalize distressed communities.
Mary believes that: healthcare is a human right; workers deserve to earn a living wage that allows them to live in a decent place, put food on the table, and spend time with their families and friends; childcare should be affordable and accessible; every child deserves a quality education; veterans deserve respect and access to healthcare, mental health services, education, job training, and housing support; government officials work for voters not billionaires and lobbyists; farmers are the backbone of our society and should have access to fair markets for grain and livestock, freedom from corporate control, and the right to fix their own equipment; that everyone has the right to breathe clean air and drink clean water; there should be a pause on new large data center projects until safeguards are in place to protect ordinary Americans; we should remove corporate tax incentives that move jobs overseas; and the ultra-wealthy and corporations should pay their fair share in taxes.
Mary is running for Congress to bring people together, solve real problems, and make sure the next generation has more opportunities—not fewer
