Sherry Wells: A Dedicated Citizen of Ferndale
From running for mayor to dressing up and giving historical tours of the downtown area, Wells is dedicated to being a part of the Ferndale community. Her resume includes experience as an educator, a practicing lawyer, a published author, and the list keeps on growing.
Although she was not elected mayor during her 2013 run, she is staying true to the goals she held while campaigning. “You don’t have to win elections to keep your campaign promises,” she explains. Her vision of a transparent government, an actively participating community, and a city that is equal parts night-life and day-life is becoming a reality in Ferndale.
While running for mayor, one of the biggest areas of interest for Wells were the committees and boards Ferndale offers to the residents — something she’d been passionate about for some time. Wells was also elected with the most votes to serve on the Charter Revision Commission, which worked to help reorganize and rebuild Ferndale’s boards and commissions. Since then, Wells has been actively working to connect residents with boards that can fit with their talents and interests, regardless of age or experience.
One of her biggest joys in meeting people is helping them find ways to help serve the city. She encourages neighbors of all ages to find an area in which they can pursue their passions, become part of the community, and help Ferndale grow.
Wells has a B.A. in education from Michigan State University as well as a law degree, and believes in educating the public on the rule of law. Her philosophy is “an ounce of education is better than a pound of court.” Along with an educated public, Wells pushes for a transparent government, one that can explain itself with every action it takes, one that does not operate behind a curtain. She believes that if the government exists to serve the public, then the public should know about every step they take.
Wells is of the opinion that with an educated population and a participative government, there is more ability for growth and a closer government.
In addition to meeting neighbors and improving the city, Sherry has found another great reason to volunteer and participate. “When you move to Ferndale, you never have to buy another t-shirt,” she jokes. From volunteering with different organizations and helping with the numerous events Ferndale hosts every year, Wells has earned well over a dozen shirts that serve as another example of her hard work for the city. The Ferndale Library’s Board of Directors, the Ferndale Historical Society, the Downtown Development Authority, and the Rotary Club are just some of the groups that have seen Wells’ name on their volunteer roster.
With the mayoral election now comfortably in the past, Wells is turning her attention toward the future. In addition to self-employment and her volunteering regimen, Sherry Wells is dedicated to making her city more environmentally friendly. She is currently working on city-wide recycling programs and hopes to enact a Community Building plan to educate citizens about growing gardens to trade goods with their neighbors. She is also working to plan the third installment of an event she created called Family Fundale. A day-long celebration for families from all over Metro-Detroit, Family Fundale 2014 is scheduled to take place on May 3rd.
A love for her city and a dedication to service drive Sherry Wells. She is part of the great fabric that makes the Ferndale community so unique. If a city is only as strong as its citizens, Ferndale has a bright future indeed.
