I’m Madison Hickman, a small business owner, hairstylist,
and proud resident of Troy’s Third Ward. I own and operate a small business in downtown Troy, where every day I work one-on-one with people—listening to their concerns, understanding their needs, and helping them feel their best. That commitment to service, connection, and trust is what drives me—not just in my business, but in my work on Troy City Council.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been part of the downtown Troy community, both through my business and as a resident. I care deeply about the neighborhoods, parks, small businesses, and people that make our city special.

I believe local government should work the same way my business does: by listening, communicating clearly, and responding to the needs of the people it serves. As your Third Ward Council Member, my goal is to help bridge the gap between residents and City Hall so our community feels heard, informed, and involved in the decisions shaping Troy’s future.

Strong communities are built through conversation and collaboration. I’m committed to keeping those conversations open, encouraging community involvement, and working alongside residents to strengthen the Third Ward and the city we all call home.
