Debra March
A Legacy of Leadership
Debra March’s journey in Henderson is the kind of story that becomes part of a city’s identity.

When she stepped into the role of mayor, she carried that understanding with her. Under her leadership, Henderson experienced a period of intentional, people‑focused growth. She championed parks and trails that strengthened neighborhoods, supported public safety initiatives that kept families secure, and encouraged economic development that brought new jobs and innovation to the region. Her vision was always rooted in balance: progress without losing the small‑town warmth that makes Henderson feel like home.
