In 2006, Deborah Ball became a resident of Highland Heights and hasn’t looked back since.
When it comes to her plans for what she hopes to do that impacts Highland Heights citizens, Ball said in a 2024 election profile interview that the answer is simple:
“Exactly what I have been doing since I was first elected to council,” she said. “I look at all the opportunities presented to the council from as many perspectives as I can. I discuss those opportunities with many different constituents to get their input, and I make a decision that I think will benefit both the residents and the city.”
Ball faces Robert Beckerich, John Braun, Gary Chinn, Christie Fillhardt, Patricia Hayley, Rene Heinrich and Jesse Hockenbury in the Nov. 3 general election.
Ball said that it is the other residents she’s gotten to know throughout the years she’s spent in the city that have made her stay for nearly 20 years.
Her interest in wanting to be involved with city council stemmed from members in her family who also served in local city council roles. Ball’s uncle served as the mayor of Southgate, and Ball’s father was a Cold Spring City Council member.
In addition to her interests in city involvement, Ball has many others, including spending time working outside in her yard, taking two mosaic classes and more.
Ball wants residents to know she has enjoyed council and that she has work she’d like to finish if elected for another term.
