Markwell for Ward 6

Thank you The Rolla Breakfast Rotary Club for having me as your guest speaker this morning, I really enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing some familiar faces! 😊

Last week’s military breakfast hosted by Rolla Chamber was very insightful. It’s great to hear about all the amazing things happening down in Fort Leonard Wood! Between the hospital expansion and increase in care for our veterans, big things are in store and I’m so excited for our troops 🎖️

I also had the pleasure of meeting the mayor and city administrator of our neighboring city, St. James! To read about the newest additions to the hospital, you can go to: https://www.army.mil/article-amp/291909/caring_for_those_who_serve_new_hospital_opens_at_fort_leonard_wood

Summerfest in Rolla is here!! Pop out to the downtown bandshell with your friends and family to enjoy all of the events lined up for this week 😎

Yesterday’s car show was super fun, and today I got to try Muddy Boots Coffee Co. for the first time! It was great to see everyone there, looking forward to what tomorrow brings

Had a great time at my first Rolla Chamber luncheon! Met so many new folks who do amazing work around our community 😁

Thank you Missouri S&T for the feature! I’m so excited so represent the students and residents of my ward. What a privilege to be able to receive a stellar education right here in Rolla 💚

S&T student elected to Rolla City Council Amelia Markwell, a senior in biological sciences at Missouri S&T, has been elected to the Rolla City Council as a Ward 6 representative. She was sworn in to office on Monday, April 20, and her term will expire in April 2028.

Thank you Rolla Parks & Recreation Department for putting on this fun event for our canine friends yesterday! Winston and I had a blast meeting all the dogs and making crafts. Looking forward to more of these dog park events in the future 🐾🦴

I had a great time yesterday walking Rolla’s annual arts and crafts fair downtown! I’m always amazed with how creative our community is. From handmade quilts to wood carved dishes to fresh baked sourdough, I came home with many goodies!

It was great seeing my friends from Phelps County Walk to End Alzheimer's and their booth setup. And of course we had to end the day with amazing eats from Space Boys Tacos and SpellboundSips 😋🍋🌮
Already looking forward to next year’s!

Last night marked our first city council meeting with the newly elected officials! I was delighted to be sworn in, and am grateful to all my friends and family who showed up! We definitely had a packed room 🇺🇸

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Missouri S&T protoplex!! What an amazing building to have on our campus, this will be big for the next generation of engineers!

I found the large 3D printers to be super interesting, and it was a pleasure getting to catch up with coworkers and other newly elected officials. I can’t wait to see more of what plans our University brings to life.

We did it!! 🎉🥳 My sincerest gratitude to the people of Rolla, I am incredibly honored to share that I’ve been elected as City Councilwoman. Not only will I be the first Asian-American to serve on the city’s council, but Ward 6 received more votes last night than both candidates combined last year! I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside fellow council members and residents to support a strong future for our city.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way—I definitely could not have done it without you all! Your belief in me means the world 😊
