Jane is a 30-year East Side resident and lives in Ward 7’s Mounds Park neighborhood, where she and her husband, David Murphy, a landscape designer and contractor, purchased their home in 1984 and raised their son Sam, a 2003 Harding High School graduate.
Throughout her career as Ward 7 city councilmember, attorney and community leader, Jane has always fought for the members of this community.
As the city and community face challenges both new and old, Jane's sense of purpose is as strong as ever. Her retirement has afforded her the opportunity to offer her perspective from a place of wisdom and experience.
Probably the most important role Jane plays now is that of grandmother! Securing a future for the generations to come is heart of her resolve to continue the fight for justice and a better community in any way she can.
