MADISON – Maura Wroblewski has announced her candidacy to serve District 1 constituents as a member of Madison City Council.

Wroblewski’s priorities are road improvements, particularly for Balch, Browns Ferry and Gillespie roads with particular attention to the Gillespie/Balch intersection. Along those roads, she will work for more bike paths and sidewalks.

“Another priority is an increase in retail establishments, with a priority to fill vacant storefronts, and to bring the gas station at the corner of Gillespie and Balch roads into the city limits through tax incentives,” Wroblewski said.

Wroblewski said she has a plan for a no-kill, foster-driven animal shelter “paid for through private donations, not tax dollars.”

Because her children are now older, Wroblewski will “have the time and energy to work for the citizens of Madison.” The Wroblewski family are members of Asbury United Methodist Church, where she teaches Christian Families Sunday School Class and served as chairperson of Asbury Community Thrift Store for many years.

Currently, she works part time at Hogan YMCA as weekend manager. “By working part time, I will be able to work full time for you,” Wroblewski said.

“The crown jewel of Madison is our school system,” she said. “It is (past) time for Limestone County to release those tax dollars that Madison City/Limestone County residents pay back to Madison City Schools.”

The Wroblewskis have lived in Madison since 1999. She and husband Ron have been married for 25 years. Their children, Zach and Sarah, attended West Madison Elementary School, Liberty Middle School and graduated from Bob Jones High School.

Zach graduated from Berry College in May with a political science/secondary education double major and received a Fulbright Scholarship to teach overseas. Sarah will be a sophomore at Marion Military Institute with hopes of an Air Force career.

“I would greatly appreciate your vote on Tuesday, Aug. 23,” Wroblewski said. “Voting location for District 1 is Faith Lutheran Church, 660 Gillespie Road.”
