Re-Elect Kari Nacy for Leesburg Town Council
Testimonials
“I’ve known Kari and her family for years. When COVID-19 hit, she was one of the first people to roll up her sleeves, throw on a mask, and say, ‘Let’s get to work.’ Now, more than ever, Leesburg needs effective leadership. We need results, not just rhetoric. And Kari has both in spades.”
“I first met Kari while she was serving in the local Interact Club, a youth division of the Leesburg Rotary. Since then, Kari’s consistently demonstrated a commitment to helping others and strengthening our community. The people of Leesburg deserve an elected representative of unimpeachable integrity with a clear investment in our town’s future. And that’s Kari.”
“As someone born and raised in Leesburg, Kari cares very deeply about our community. She shares my passion for public safety, and will be a strong advocate on Town Council for working families and local law enforcement. Kari has my full support and wholehearted endorsement.”
“Kari’s professional background and deep community roots make her the ideal choice for Town Council this November. We need more folks like her dedicated to lowering tax and utility rates, to helping small businesses recover from COVID-19, to help safeguard Leesburg’s historic small-town charm and preserve our future.”

MY PROMISE
I’m running for re-election to continue the great work we’ve done the last 4 years in Leesburg. I will continue to bring common sense, fresh ideas, and a renewed spirit of hope to my hometown of Leesburg.
About Me
MY NAME IS kari
I love this town, its history, culture, diversity, and all the activities to be enjoyed here. Leesburg is an ideal place to live, work, and raise a family, which is why my husband and I are raising our own here. But as our community continues to grow, Leesburg faces challenges when it comes to affordability, redevelopment, and preserving its historic small town charm. I look forward to tackling these issues head on, and helping fight for a better future as the next member of our Town Council.
News
Dear Editor: Recently, there’s been a push made in favor of the Town of Leesburg acquiring the 130-acre golf course portion of the Westpark property in Southwest. However, most folks aren’t getting the whole story.
Other than the commercially zoned portion (about 8 acres), the rest of Westpark is largely considered floodplain, which makes that land essentially undevelopable. Just ask FEMA how many homes you can build on a floodplain. The answer: not many.
Leesburg native Kari Nacy is hoping the second time’s the charm in her bid for a seat on the Leesburg Town Council.
Nacy recently announced she has fully qualified for November’s Town Council ballot. She finished fifth among five candidates in the 2018 race.
Despite the sting of that loss, Nacy knew soon after the votes were tallied in November 2018 that she still wanted to serve her town in some capacity. The following January, she was Councilwoman Suzanne Fox’s appointee to the town’s Planning Commission. A year later, she was elected commission’s chairwoman. Nacy said she considered whether she was content continuing to serve on the commission and rule out another council bid.
Seven candidates will vie for four seats on the Leesburg Town Council in November, with the filing deadline expiring Tuesday.
Mayor Kelly Burk, in her bid for a third two-year mayoral term, will face a familiar challenge. Councilman Ron Campbell, whose own council term is up at year’s end, officially qualified for the mayoral ballot just before the deadline. Campbell challenged Burk two years ago, but finished third in a three-way race that also included Councilman Tom Dunn.
