Written by Jeannine Bell “JB” Smith, candidate for Crescent Springs City Council
I am not a politician. I am an educator committed to excellence and investment in my community, dedicating 30 years in Kenton County Schools. As a master teacher, I wore many hats as teachers always do serving students, parents and community. It is most humbling when a student writes a letter that you have made a difference in their life. Service over self-defines my commitment to be a positive contributor to my city, my county, my state, my beloved country.
My dedication to conservative values, fiscal responsibilities, transparency, accountability, limited government, and free markets are of utmost importance. As a consumer advocate have addressed concerns to Duke Energy on rate hikes, NKY Sanitation District on Consent Degree, regarding the EPA and The Clean Water Act 1972, the Kentucky Department of Transportation regarding the safety of Bromley Crescent Springs Road and served as a Member of the Consumers’ Advisory Council for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. There is no bureaucracy that will silence my voice speaking for the people.
People really care when you put yourself out in the arena of life. I was appointed to council May 2022 to fill a Council vacancy and was re-elected 2023-2024 and 2025-2026.
The responsibility of the city ensures the safety of our community. Our Police and Fire Departments are dedicated to serve and protect. We are so fortunate to have topnotch men and women in the Crescent Springs/Villa Hills Fire Department and Police Force serving our community.
The voice of the people must be heard to challenge any practices they deem unfair of government overreach. I am a student of the Constitution and defend the right of the people to petition the government for redress of grievances and to peaceful assembly. Open meetings and open records, first and foremost belong to the people.
My Mission, My Passion:” It is not just talking about a problem or concerns, but to take action and find a resolution.” I strive to represent the best interests of the citizens of Crescent Springs with gratitude, your voice, your vote for Jeannine Bell “JB” Smith shall make a difference.
