Bridgette Jackson, a Democrat from Grant Avenue, is running for Altoona City Council.
The 33-year-old holds a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. She is a Store Solutions Supervisor at Sheetz.
“Altoona has always been very good to me,” Jackson said. “I grew up in this community, graduated from Altoona Area High School and it has supported me through many transitions and milestones in my life.
“It gave me family, a home, a career and an incredible support system. It provided the public education I needed to excel and succeed in other areas of my life, allowed me to engage in a community and has afforded me the opportunities to question, learn and flourish.”
