Meet Jessica Ann Tyson

My name is Jessica Ann Tyson, City of Kentwood Commissioner for Ward 2. I am a wife, mother, multi-business owner, and proud resident of our great city - Kentwood! 

As a business owner of JA PR Group, LLC, The Candied Yam, Delightful Southern Cuisine, and Pink Lounge Dry Salt Therapy, I placed businesses in Kentwood for the same reasons my husband and I planted our family here. It’s a beautifully diverse community with caring neighbors, plenty of activities, and healthy balanced budgets. Strong Economy.  Beautiful parks and trails. Walkable streets and neighborhoods. Business and job growth and a vibrant business community. Does that sound like a city that needs to be changed? I think not. The U.S.A. Today touted Kentwood’s zip code 49508 as the hottest growing zip code. And I quote, “The neighborhood offers strong schools, tree-lined streets, and short commutes.”

Sure. There will always be ways that any city can improve upon - that my friend is called growth.  But don’t we have an amazing starting point and a strong advantage here in Kentwood that we can be proud of?

I have had many years of experience serving our Kentwood community as a board member of the Economic Development Council, and the Kentwood Community Foundation as an Executive Board Member. I am also a past board member of the Wyoming Kentwood Chamber of Commerce and a supporting member in good standing of the American Legion DW Cassard Post 208.

Together - Let’s keep Kentwood strong and moving forward. Unified. United.

I want to see continued services for families, youth, Veterans, Seniors, and admittedly, our four-legged friends!
