State Representative District 52 candidate Crystal Malloy made several campaign stops in Scott County on Wednesday, August 13, connecting with local leaders and community organizations.
Her first visit was with Mansfield Mayor Buddy Black, where the two discussed key issues facing the area. “She is interested in working on the Senior Center [funding] issue,” Black said. The conversation also touched on the LEARNS Act and the importance of avoiding political games when addressing matters that affect residents directly.
Later in the evening, Malloy attended the Northwest Scott Volunteer Fire Department’s monthly meeting. “I had the opportunity to attend the Northwest Scott Volunteer Fire Department’s monthly meeting. First Choice Ambulance joined the discussion, and it was great to hear from such a dedicated group of people who care deeply about their community,” Malloy said. She noted that the department stays busy answering numerous calls and is always striving for positive improvements.
Malloy shared that her favorite part of the evening was watching a junior fireman receive a promotion after responding to a fire with his mother, taking action, and helping save a home. She praised Chief Donnie Adkins’ junior firefighter program as an outstanding way to teach young people about service, responsibility, and leadership. “It’s inspiring to see the next generation stepping up to help keep their community safe,” Malloy said.
