Kristin Nelson is a lifelong resident of Chambers County, where she was raised by her
hard-working parents – Melvin and Donna Pike. Her late father worked in the bluecollar
industry, and her mother served the Chambers County Board of Education
for 38-years – instilling in Kristin a deep respect for faith, family, education, and
community service.
While Kristin has served in both public and private sectors, including seven years with
the City of Valley in administration and three years as a 3rd-grade teacher at Lanett City
Schools, her most meaningful role has been homeschooling her boys through Classical
Conversations since 2015. She has served as a tutor and local representative of the
program.In recent years, Kristin has returned to work part-time at Harris Gray LLC, while continuing to serve her community with passion and dedication. She is a worship leader at Fairfax Methodist Church, Secretary of the Junior Variety Club, President of the EAMC Lanier Auxiliary Board, founder of the Chambers County Young Republicans, and currently serves as Chairman of the Chambers County Republican Party.
In the Alabama Legislature, Kristin will be committed to preserving the values that make Chambers County and Lee County strong – faith, family, integrity, and service. She’s prepared to work hard and deliver proven results for our community.“As someone who grew up on
the Chambers-Lee County line,
I know firsthand our district is
full of hard-working families
who are doing everything
right, but still struggling to
get ahead. We need more
good-paying jobs, safer
neighborhoods and schools,
and to continue to protect our
educational freedoms.
I’m ready to roll up my
sleeves, get to work, and
deliver proven results for the
communities I love!”
