Dear Family,Friends and Citizens of Blue Ridge.
I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Blue Ridge City Council. If elected, I will serve a four year term beginning January 2026.

I am a lifelong resident of Fannin County. I am the daughter of the late Maford and Wonette Ensley Foster. I attended Blue Ridge Elementary and graduated from Fannin County High School .
I have worked since I was sixteen, as well as being the owner of three businesses. I am currently the owner of Three Sisters Fudge, a successful business of twenty three years located downtown Blue Ridge .
Anthony and I have raised three daughters, Family has always been our first priority, even while we maintained running our businesses. Today we continue to carry on our tradition of family by enjoying our seven grandchildren as much as possible through vacation and school activities.
