It takes strength, commitment, and guts to run for any political office. Aim’s podcast Run Like a Girl seeks to destroy the notion of weakness that is historically associated with this phrase by showcasing the strong female leaders in different levels of Indiana government. Join us as we shatter the myths about female leaders, dig deep into their challenges and advantages, understand what resources are needed to attract more women to these roles, and take back the misconception that running like a girl is a bad thing.
On today’s episode, Aim COO Jennifer Simmons sits down with Noblesville Street Commissioner Patty Johnson. A seasoned municipal leader with more than three decades of service, Patty has built a career rooted in operations, infrastructure, and public works. She held a variety of roles within the City of Noblesville before becoming its first female street commissioner, where she continues to lead with experience, innovation, and a hands-on approach.
