Michael McKay plans to run for Madison City Council, District 4

MADISON – Michael McKay has announced his intention to run for Madison City Council District 4. McKay is the first announced candidate for the seat that will be on the Aug. 26 municipal ballot. The deadline for candidates to qualify to run in June 24.

McKay moved to Huntsville in 2005 to attend UAH on an academic and baseball scholarship. He graduated from UAH with two accounting degrees and met his wife, Emily, while attending the university. They wed in 2010, a month after McKay began his work as a civilian with the Department of Defense (DoD.) McKay has worked with DoD for the last 14+ years with progressive responsibility.

Today, McKay (a Certified Fraud Examiner) helps supervise the internal auditing department of a multi-billion dollar federal agency.

“My wife and I chose to live in Madison for the same reason that so many families choose it: the quality of the school system. It was very important to us that our two children had access to the best education possible, and we knew that Madison could offer that. Our kids are at Madison Elementary and Journey Middle now, and we couldn’t be happier with this excellent school system.”

McKay said he is extremely proud of the convenient access his District 4 home provides for the family to Palmer Park where he has watched his kids grow up and fall in love with athletics. Their neighborhood also provides direct, connected access to Bradford Creek Greenway which is another key amenity for the family.

“I am running because I think my professional background and my community involvement have positioned me to understand the needs of our growing community,” he said. “If elected, I will work with my colleagues to ensure successful implementation of the Madison on Track 2045 strategic plan, work to further enhance the city budget for quality of life projects (like improved parks, community facilities, and ball fields), and also serve as a watchdog for all taxpayers dollars spent, eliminating waste and unnecessary spending to streamline important projects.”
