Rachel Cooper

Cooper said the city needs to focus on creating safe, well-maintained public spaces, improving infrastructure and fostering environments where families feel secure raising their kids.

Cooper faces Lauren Franzen, Justin Imhoff, Eric Noble, Joe Pelle, Herb Rardin, Mary Spivey and Julie Ziegler in the Nov. 3 general election.

“At the same time, it’s crucial that we create opportunities for everyone’s voice to be respected in decision-making,” Cooper said in 2024. “Whether it’s addressing concerns about housing, education or economic opportunities, I’m committed to making sure all residents feel they have a stake in the future of our city.”

Should she be reelected, Cooper said her top priorities will focus on creating a stronger, more connected community.

First, she intends to continue building and improving spaces for families and kids to enjoy, such as parks and recreational areas. Cooper said by supporting local businesses, improving infrastructure and promoting vibrant neighborhoods, Silver Grove can be a destination for people. Cooper said she also wants to encourage open dialogue and inclusivity, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

Cooper is a fourth-generation resident who has lived in the city for 18 years. She has also served on the city council for six years. She also started the Silver Grove Scholarship, which provides opportunities for our students to pursue higher education. Cooper said these things help to set her apart from the other candidates.
