Photo courtesty of City of Jackson
At a special meeting on Nov. 27, the Jackson City Council appointed Shalanda Hunt to the vacant Fifth Ward council seat.
The seat was vacated in Sept. upon the resignation of former City Councilmember Karen Bunnell.
Hunt was appointed to the seat following a process that saw eight Ward 5 residents interviewed by the council. She was sworn-in to the office on Nov. 28.
Hunt is a lifelong Jackson resident and resides in the Fifth Ward with her two daughters. She currently works for the State of Michigan as a Child Welfare Trainer and is vice president of the Jackson Public Schools Board of Education.
Hunt will hold the position until elections are held to fill the seat in August 2024 (Primary Election) and November 2024 (General Election). The winner of the General Election will complete the rest of the seat’s original term, which ends in Dec. 2025.
The Fifth Ward is made up of the western half of Downtown Jackson and several residential neighborhoods surrounding downtown.
