With a background in physical therapy and experience in home health care, she brings a unique perspective to local leadership. Lorie discusses what motivated her to run for office, the differences between city and county government, and the vital role of a "strong mayor." She also reflects on former Mayor Curtis Hayes’ legacy, provides insight into department operations, current grant projects, and highlights community initiatives like the Downtown Revival Committee and upcoming events in Livingston.
