30 years running her own business in Kinder. Serving now as Mayor Pro Tem. Ready to lead the town she's never stopped investing in.
I am Angie Weatherford Van Norman, and Kinder isn't just where I live — it's home. My husband Derek and I have raised 3 children here, and today we're blessed with 6 grandchildren. I've built my business, Van Norman's Jewelry and Gifts, here, and I've spent more than 30 years serving the people of my community in that business.
I've also had the privilege of serving the town of Kinder on the town council, representing District 4, for 22 years, and I've served as Mayor Pro Tem for 16 years.
Kinder has given my family so much, and I've always believed in giving back to the community that has given so much to us.
"Kinder isn't just where I live — it's home."
We have a lot going for us in Kinder, but we cannot be satisfied with simply maintaining what we have. The biggest challenge isn't a lack of potential — it's making sure we have the vision, planning, and determination to turn that potential into action.
We will pursue more grants and outside funding so we can make improvements without putting the entire burden on our taxpayers.
We will invest in downtown beautification and create reasons for people to visit and spend time in Kinder — while attracting new businesses and supporting the ones we already have.
We will create quarterly community events that bring people together — and make maintaining our streets and infrastructure a priority.
