Tiffany Collins - Empowering Women in Leadership


Women bring unique perspectives to government that often go unheard. Their focus on safety, education, healthcare, and family reflects issues that affect daily life in very real ways. When women hold leadership roles, policies tend to address these concerns more effectively, creating communities that support everyone more effectively.


Tiffany Collins, a candidate for Haywood County Commissioner, understands this deeply. She recognizes the importance of representing women’s voices in local government, especially now, as Jennifer Best, the current and only female commissioner, has decided not to run for reelection. This change could leave Haywood County without female representation on the Board, despite women making up the majority of the county’s residents.



Women often approach leadership with a focus on practical, everyday issues. They bring attention to matters like:


  • Community safety

  • Access to quality education

  • Healthcare services

  • Support for families and children


These areas shape the quality of life for residents and require leaders who understand the challenges faced by mothers, daughters, and wives. Women leaders tend to advocate for policies that reflect these priorities, ensuring that government decisions are more inclusive and responsive.


In Haywood County, this representation is crucial. The absence of women on the Board could mean that important perspectives are missing when decisions are made. Tiffany Collins is stepping up to fill that gap, bringing her commitment to serve all residents while highlighting the unique needs of women in the community.



Running for elected office is never easy, especially for women. Tiffany Collins has faced these challenges head-on with courage and determination. Her decision to run for Commissioner was not made lightly. It reflects a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to make a meaningful difference.


Tiffany’s campaign is about more than just winning a seat. It’s about inspiring others, especially young adults, to consider leadership roles and to overcome the fears that often hold them back. She knows firsthand the intimidation and negativity that can come with stepping into the political arena, but she encourages others to rise above those obstacles.



Tiffany offers powerful advice to young people who feel called to serve but hesitate because of fear:


“If you’re a younger person who has ever considered running for office, let this be your sign to do it.
Don’t let fear hold you back. Don’t let intimidation, noise, or negativity distract you from your purpose. Stand strong, stay focused, rise above, and stand firmly in your beliefs.”

Her words remind us that communities need leaders who bring fresh perspectives, integrity, and genuine care. These leaders don’t just speak—they advocate and work hard to bring real change. Tiffany’s message is clear: if you feel the pull to step forward, trust it. Your voice and leadership matter.



Research shows that when women hold leadership positions, policies often become more inclusive and address a wider range of community needs. For example:


  • Cities with women in leadership roles have seen improvements in public health initiatives and education funding.

  • Women leaders tend to prioritize family-friendly policies, such as childcare support and flexible work arrangements.

  • Safety programs often receive more attention, benefiting vulnerable populations.


Tiffany Collins aims to bring these kinds of positive changes to Haywood County. Her focus on serving all residents, while paying special attention to women’s concerns, reflects a leadership style grounded in empathy and practical solutions.


With Jennifer Best stepping down, the risk of losing female representation on the Board is real. This gap could affect how well the Board understands and addresses the needs of the majority female population in the county.



Tiffany’s candidacy offers a chance to maintain and strengthen that representation. She understands the roles women play in families and communities and is ready to advocate for policies that support women and children.


Her leadership promises to bring:


  • A clear focus on community safety and well-being

  • Support for education and healthcare improvements

  • Policies that reflect the realities of family life in Haywood County



Tiffany’s story is a call to action for women and young adults everywhere. Leadership is not just for a select few—it is for anyone willing to stand up and serve with honesty and dedication.


Her advice encourages people to:


  • Overcome fear and intimidation

  • Stay focused on their goals

  • Believe in the power of their voice

  • Commit to serving their communities with integrity


By following Tiffany’s example, more women can bring their perspectives to government, making policies more inclusive and effective.

As a woman, I firmly believe the statements made in this post regarding the abilities and focus of a woman. I spent over 20 years as an Air Force spouse, then many more as he served as an Army Contractor. When he raised his right hand, so did I. He may have worn the uniform, but I worked just as hard for the promotions and awards. Because i kept the home functioning, made sure our daughter was cared for and worked whatever job accommodated his schedule, he was able to focus on defending our country. He only needed to concentrate on his job and deployed frequently without concern of how things were ar home because he knew everything else was…
