Hi, I’m Wendy Hughes

I was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas.

Growing up I was surrounded by family members who worked their entire life serving the community. My Grandfather was the longest-serving police chief in Fayetteville, my Mother was a public school teacher for over thirty years in Springdale, and my Grandmother still volunteers at 81 years old at her church home in Fayetteville. 

Before becoming a stay at home parent, I received my Bachelors degree in History from the University of Arkansas, and had a career working with various medical practices in the area. I now spend my time volunteering on the PTO Board of Bella Vista’s local elementary school, Cooper Elementary. I am also newly appointed to the Board of Directors of the Bella Vista Library Foundation. 

My husband, Ryan, and I made Bella Vista our home in 2019. We believe that Bella Vista is the perfect place to raise our three children to be kind, caring, and productive members of our community. 

As your representative on the City Council, I promise to listen to your concerns and opinions on local issues while making decisions on the direction of our community.
