RE-ELECT MARY JO HEYE · MAYOR OF SHERWOOD
Show up.Do the work.Deliver.
Mary Jo Heye ran for Mayor in 2022 on a simple promise: bring a steady hand to City Hall and treat Sherwood like the home it is. In one term, she turned that promise into parks people actually use, streets that drain, a police department that's growing instead of shrinking, and a city that streams every meeting — not just council.
She's not running on plans for someday. She's running on a record — and on the work that's still ahead for Sherwood Acres, Brockington Road, and Lake Cherrywood.
READ HER FULL MESSAGEFive themes. Real receipts. Every accomplishment below is something Sherwood residents can drive past, walk through, or open on their phone today.
An inclusive playground, pickleball courts, fishing, free summer concerts — the most popular gathering place in the city, by a wide margin. Lake Cherrywood transformed. The splash pad free again since 2023. Free tennis center, all year.
Patrol vacancies down from 20+ to 5. A new training facility. The most diverse department in Sherwood's history.
Completed street and drainage projects across the city. A $4M Metroplan grant funding Phase 2 of Jacksonville-Cato. Expanded sidewalks and lighting.
Recruited new employers, overturned outdated liquor laws, and led the metro on new home starts (December 2025 Metro Trends).
Livestreamed all city meetings — council, committees, and commissions — with full archives. A monthly newsletter. A new city website. And Sherwood's first free app.
