Christine Gersky for Taylor City Council

I am 59 years old, divorced, and have lived in the City of Taylor for over 40 years of my life.  In 1994 I moved from Taylor to Westland, and then moved to Canton Township in 1999 until 2011, when I then moved back to my "Taylor Roots" and am glad to be here, again.  I am a proud Army mom and grandmother of 3 great kids, who mean the world to me.  During elementary school I attended St. Alfred's and graduated from Taylor Center High School in 1984.

I graduated from Taylor Center HS with honors and attended some college.  Since 1990 to present I have been employed at the U.S. Post Office as a Letter Carrier.  Most recently I completed a Microsoft Excel course at WCCC.  I have worked as a Poll Inspector for every local, state, and federal election since January 2023 (for a Special Election Primary) in the cities of Westland and Detroit and was a Poll Challenger in Canton, November 2024.  For the past 2 years I have been involved in Election Integrity volunteer work.  I am passionate about having fair and transparent elections here in Michigan.

In high school I was elected to Student Council and was also elected captain of the Varsity Pompon team.  I would later come back to my High School and coach  the JV Pompon team.  Raising my young son, as a single mother, I was involved in the city of Westland Cub Scouts for 3 years, as Pack 867 Den Leader, Cubmaster, and Pack Committee Chair, respectively. During those years I also coached youth softball (with our team going to the championship), and was an assistant coach for the Canton Township Mariners youth baseball team (one season). 

I was never much of a follower of politics. Before 2017, I only voted in Presidential Elections.  That changed in 2017 when I began to see the great degree of conflict occurring in our nation's capital.  Since November 2020, I have seen a great divide spreading among the citizens of our great USA.  Additionally, our children are being targeted in unimaginable ways. What I saw, from my continued observation, was the  destruction of our great USA happening very rapidly starting in January 2023: open borders, gender confusion, open sexuality.  I have been a Republican Precinct Delegate for Precinct 5 in Taylor since January 2023.  Since that time, I have volunteered for numerous Republican/traditional political candidates, knocked hundreds of doors, hand delivered over 1,000 flyers, made hundreds of phone calls, and more.  I am determined to keep a more traditional (and less WOKE) agenda for the City of Taylor, if I am elected.
