Lekisha Maxwell

Hello, I’m Lekisha Maxwell, a resident of Westland for 15 years and a visionary for Westland.

I’m a dedicated community volunteer, champion for youth, and advocate for Veterans and
families. Having political aspirations to serve, I am running for City Council to expound upon issues that will be impactful in bringing and supporting our youth, veterans, and at-risk families, along with economic gains for the community.

​

I am honored to have mayoral appointments which include the Municipal Service Bureau,
Westland Housing Commission Vice President and the Economic Development Commission. Other notable accomplishments and services include Westland Democratic Club Trustee, Western Wayne NAACP Veterans and Military Affairs Chairman, Western Wayne NAACP Economic Development, Westland Norwayne Community Citizens’ Council Trustee, and, most recently, the 2024 Westland Citizen of the Year Award.
