Northern Kentucky roots
Growing up in NKY, Tyesha saw neighborhood leaders doing the work without always receiving recognition. That shaped her belief that everyday people can move a community forward.

Meet Tyesha Gordon
Globally minded. Locally focused. Running to make Covington more connected, affordable, and community first.
Tyesha grew up in Northern Kentucky watching neighborhood heroes do the work that keeps communities together. Those examples shaped her belief that service does not have to wait for a title, and that local government should recognize the people already showing up.
She brings a background in communication, public relations, political science, creativity, and community organizing to this race. At NKU, she has studied how clear communication can move people from feeling ignored to feeling included.
Tyesha believes government should meet people where they are. For Covington, that means better connection between neighborhoods, income-aligned housing, youth spaces, fair taxes, and development that includes Latonia, South Covington, and every community at the table.
What guides her work.
Community service rooted in everyday neighborhood leadership
Arts, creativity, and youth voices as part of civic life
People-first communication that makes local government easier to understand
Public decisions that choose residents over politics as usual
Experience
Communication and public service
At Northern Kentucky University, she studies Public Relations and Political Science and brings a communicator’s eye to how people understand, access, and influence local government.
Community leadership
Her service on the Kenton County Executive Committee reflects a commitment to supporting leaders who listen first and put the public interest ahead of personal ambition.
