Born and raised in Clark County, Tracey Tackett is a small business owner, advocate, wife, and mother. She believes more women involved in leadership will foster positive change for our communities. Prior to starting her business in 2014, Sip & Dipity Paint Bar in downtown Springfield, Tracey worked for several years in corporate and nonprofit marketing.

Following the loss of her daughter in 2019, Tracey began working with multiple organizations, including the Epilepsy Foundation and the Christina and Ryan Day Foundation with Nationwide Children’s Hospital Mental Health movement. She now serves as a fierce advocate for epilepsy research and suicide awareness. More interested in serving people than playing politics, Tracey is running her campaign as an independent candidate and has a long history of working with people from both parties to serve her county.
