The OneZone Chamber’s Business Action Committee (ZoneBAC) has endorsed Amy Massillamany in the race for Hamilton County Council, District 2.

In announcing the endorsement, OneZone Chamber President Jack Russell cited Massillamany’s approach to fiscal policy and governance.

“Amy Massillamany brings a thoughtful and fiscally responsible approach to county leadership,” Russell said in a statement. “Her experience and commitment to supporting a strong business climate, while ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, make her a strong choice for Hamilton County Council.”

Massillamany currently serves on the Hamilton County Council, where she has focused on budgeting, transparency and long-term planning. According to the chamber, her work has included support for public safety, infrastructure improvements and economic development initiatives.

ZoneBAC is composed of OneZone Chamber members and evaluates candidates using nonpartisan criteria. The committee reviews candidate positions, qualifications and their approach to issues affecting the local business community before making endorsement decisions.

In its statement, the committee pointed to Massillamany’s experience in county government and her understanding of business-related issues as key factors in its decision.

The Hamilton County Council serves as the fiscal body for county government, responsible for setting budgets, appropriations and tax rates. The District 2 seat is one of several positions that will be on the ballot in the upcoming election.
