Together for a better tomorrow.

Working with our neighbors to create a better Red Bank today and for generations to come.

MEET STEFANIE DALTON

Howdy! I’m Stefanie Dalton. I’m a mom to a Hamilton County public school student, wife, social worker, advocate, and Red Bank neighbor. I’ve been honored to be your Vice Mayor for the past four years, and it would be the greatest privilege to continue serving you and our community as we grow, face ever-changing needs, and work to build a long-term plan for our city. Since 2020, we have made tremendous strides in governmental transparency, community engagement, infrastructure improvements, staff investment, successful grant applications, accessibility, parks and recreation programming, and long-term planning initiatives. I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished together in a few short years, but this is just the beginning! I hope I can count on your vote as we work to create a better Red Bank for today and tomorrow.

Shared Priorities

SHARED PRIORITIES

"A community is a group of people who agree to grow together." [Simon Sinek]

When I moved to Red Bank in 2010, I knew no one. Nearly 15 years later, my family and I can hardly go anywhere without running into a neighbor. A smiling face at the grocery store, a friendly wave at the park, a "hello" and "how are things?" as we walk down our street. We don't always have the same ideas or opinions but that's okay. Because we all love Red Bank and believe in its future, and if getting there means growing together and taking care of each other along the way, I think we're on the right track.

SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES

Build relationships with and promote small local businesses, including retail, restaurants, entrepreneurs, makers, artists, musicians, and farmers through our new Community Development Department
