Taya Brodin-Hanson, longtime resident, was one of the many voices encouraging Kristy Janigo to run. Brodin-Hanson is a 911 dispatcher and the president and founder of a local mutual aid organization.

He was part of the reason why Janigo later joined the military at 17 in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
