the first try. Bridges thought
differently, vowing if she
lost there would not be a
second attempt. During her
12 years she served two
four-year-terms and two
two-year-terms.
In 2001 she made an
unsuccessful bid for mayor
against Rick Murphrey.
“I thought it was time for
a woman,” she said.
Bridges is confident Kings
Mountain will eventually
have a female mayor.
The city made a major
change during Bridges’ time
in office, hiring its first man-
ager.
“We burned the midnight
oil selecting one,” she said.
Serving on the council
was time consuming, but
Bridges says that never
diminished her enjoyment of
the job.
“I love to be around peo-
ple,” she said.
Bridges hopes others will
follow her civic example.
“I would love to see
younger people get interest-
ed in politics and run,” she
said.
Bridges has shared her
gift for leadership with civic
organizations as well. She
was president of the
American Legion Auxiliary
and heads up the AARP.
