ROOTED IN SERVICE.
READY TO LEAD.
Dr. Cathy Cook has spent her life serving Columbus — as a dentist, Army veteran, community leader, mother, and grandmother. Now, she’s ready to serve in a new way: as your voice on City Council, City-Wide.
About Dr. Cathy Cook
Raised in Columbus. Rooted in Service.
Cathy Cook was born and raised in Columbus, where she followed in her father’s footsteps as a dentist. After serving in the U.S. Army Dental Corps, she returned home to care for her neighbors and build a life centered on service.
For over 20 years, Cathy has:
Led on local community boards
Mentored young people
Worked to open doors of opportunity for others
But her proudest role is being a mother and grandmother. Family grounds her — and family is why she’s running.
Why Cathy is Running
Cathy is running for City Council to put people before politics. She believes leadership starts with listening, and that every Columbus family deserves:
Health & Wellbeing – access to care, prevention, and support
Safe Neighborhoods – community-based safety and trust
Opportunity for All – good jobs, thriving small businesses, and growth across every zip code
Integrity in Leadership – service rooted in honesty, transparency, and unity
“I was raised here, I serve here, and I’m running to make Columbus stronger for every family.”
