Experience that
Builds the Future
For more than 30 years, Patty Bushart has served Cedar Hill in a variety of leadership and advisory roles. As Cedar Hill continues to grow, she is focused on thoughtful planning, strong community partnerships, and responsible stewardship of city resources.
Cedar Hill has been my home for more than 30 years. During that time, I’ve had the privilege of serving our city in many ways, including leadership roles supporting Main Street, tourism development, and economic initiatives. I’ve worked alongside community partners to strengthen our downtown, support local businesses, and help move Cedar Hill forward.
I studied art at Texas Tech University and later earned my marketing degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. My professional background includes experience in business operations, investment services, event management, and municipal leadership.
My husband, David, and I have proudly called Cedar Hill home for more than three decades. This community means everything to us, and I remain committed to helping build a strong future for the city we love.
I’m Patty Bushart
