We are proud and excited to announce our official support for Candidate Michelle Stephenson for the position of Leander City Council, Place 2. Michelle has been serving the city of Leander for several years and seeks to continue her service to this growing community.
Her background in Civil Engineering has allowed her to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission here in the city and has given her the opportunity to contribute to the city's growth and development. She has called Leander home since 2010 when her and her husband relocated to the area. She has been extremely supportive of the emergency services here in the community and has continually voted "Yes" on motions that work to benefit the first responders of our community.
With her already proven dedication to the City of Leander, we know she will do wonders in another term as Place 2 on our city council.
With kindest regards,

"Rarely do candidates with Michelle Stephenson’s P&Z background emerge and rarely does Leander have an opportunity to elect a person with dais experience. I deeply commend Kirsten Lynch for her years of service to our great city, but also look forward to new council leadership in an era of great change for the City."

".....For Place 2, I am endorsing Michelle Stephenson. I worked with her for three years when I was on the P&Z Commission and I found her to be a person of high ethical standards who is committed to doing what she thinks is right and best for Leander. I think ...her background in Engineering has given her the experience needed to make sound well thought out decisions regarding what is best for Leander. I always looked forward to hearing her opinion when we had a controversial zoning case. I expect that the experience she has gained serving on the P&Z Commission has prepared her well to step up and take on the additional challenges required of someone making decisions at the City Council level. I think she is and will continue to be an asset to the City of Leander."

"I am proud to endorse and support my friend, Michelle Stephenson for Leander City Council, Place 2! I've worked with Michelle for many years on the Planning & Zoning Commission as she started right before me in 2011. She is the absolute definition of integrity and she has the heart of a servant. I've always known her to speak from her heart and head and while she has the experience needed to continue to grow Leander, she also provides a new voice to push Leander to be better. She has been a valuable asset not only on P&Z but also the many other organizations she serves in. Her professional accomplishments provide the attention to detail needed for this role and her ability to make sound decisions will prove to be a great commodity for our city in the future. I am thrilled that she is running and honored to call her a friend. Please go out and support Michelle and vote!"

"Michelle Guidry Stephenson is a valuable asset for this community. Her sense of civic involvement and dedication stretches from organizing a Neighborhood Night Out, creating a Neighborhood Watch program and assuming the leading role, and faithfully and professionally serving on Leander's Planning & Zoning Commission for four years. Countless resident taxpayers have witnessed Ms. Stephenson in this later role utilizing her civil engineering background to ask presenters probing technical questions, analyze voluminous, detailed background information, attentively listen to her colleagues on the dais, and more importantly listen to the citizen concerns and then, and only then, arrive at sound decisions based upon clearly enunciated rationale. Her able experience on the P&Z lends itself to the next step, namely City Council, where she will be an energetic force and trusted team member.
Her dedication goes hand-in-hand with her strong family values and good Samaritan nature. I am honored to endorse Michelle Guidry Stephenson for Leander City Council, being fully confident that she will continue to be a most prudent steward and custodian for taxpayers'/residents' financial interests, while keeping in full view our quality of life and the orderly, managed progress of our beloved City."

"I have known Michelle Stephenson for approximately nine years. I hired her as a Civil/Structural Engineer and was her Engineering Manager, for approxiately two years while she and her Family were living in the Wisconsin – Minnesota area. Michelle was one of the best and brightest engineers I have had the pleasure of working with. Her work ethic, technical skills and personality made her an outstanding contributor to our engineering department. She spearheaded projects with a minimum of guidance, interacted very well with clients and other staff. I am sure she will be a positive contributor to the Leander City Council. I am pleased to recommend and support her in her efforts to gain a Council seat. The taxpayers in Leander, TX deserve the best, and I hope that she wins."
