Hello!

My name is Kelly Grady, and I'm running for Long Lake City Council.

I'm a fire wife, mother to a 17-year-old son, two pugs and one cat, business owner, avid volunteer and community organizer, Long Lake Park Board member, and proud Long Lake resident. 

I'm ready to bring my experience, passion, and people-powered leadership to Long Lake City Council. The priorities below reflect what I've heard from residents and the conversations that continue to shape this campaign. 

People-Powered Priorities

  • Support purposeful progress that preserves Long Lake's character and charm.

  • Maintain clean lakes, parks, and trails.

  • Prioritize long-term investment in roads and sewers. 

  • Responsible financial stewardship to keep taxes and utility rates affordable.

  • Support the police, fire, and emergency services that keep Long Lake residents safe.

I look forward to earning your support, and the opportunity to serve the community we call home.
