I’m Wendy Hughes, and I’m running for Mayor of Bella Vista.

I believe it’s time for our city to have a new vision.

I have a clear, responsible vision for growth that maintains the traditions that make our community vibrant.

Planning for a better Bella Vista

  • A brick building with a clock tower, an American flag on a flagpole, a tree on the left, and a blue sky with clouds.

    Safe & Secure Communities

    Investing in our first responders and emergency preparedness for faster response times and a protected Bella Vista.

  • People standing in line and sitting outside at the gear garden, with string lights overhead and trees surrounding the scene.

    Thriving Local Economy

    Attracting new businesses, supporting local jobs, and ensuring affordable housing so everyone can prosper in Bella Vista.

  • Wendy standing in front of a whiteboard giving a presentation to three men seated at a conference table.

    Sustainable, Smart Growth

    Guiding Bella Vista's development with thoughtful planning, addressing traffic and housing needs, and collaborating regionally.
