What do you like most about living in Huntington?

I've lived in a lot of big cities, but Huntington has always been home! My family lineage has included my great, great grandfather being in politics and sheriff; my great grandmother being one of the Rosie the Riveters; my great aunt who revitalized Central City; and the countless war heroes in my family. This beautiful city and its rich history have always been home. I take pride in this great city and want nothing more than to see its absolute success. Our greatest asset has always been our people. I look forward to providing opportunities so we can continue this for generations to come.
