West Chester - Chris Xeil Lyons, an MBA and economic development professional, announced
today that has been endorsed by the West Chester’s International Association of Fire Fighters
Local 3815. Lyons, a life long resident of West Chester is running for one of two open West
Chester Township Trustee positions.
“With so many candidates involved in the trustee race, we wanted to offer our endorsement for
those that listened to and understood the issues facing this Township and our profession,” said
Jeffrey Moore, President of Local 3815.
“Chris Xeil Lyons brings a strong background in economic development. She knows that by

everyone,” said Moore.
After graduating from Miami University with a degree in Business Administration, Lyons began
her career in public service as Deputy Auditor-Real Estate. While working for Butler County,
Lyons gained skills in public finance, real estate valuation, and the inner workings of local
government. Lyons received her MBA in 2002 from Thomas More College.
In 2003, Lyons began working for the City of Hamilton as an Economic Development Specialist.
During this time Lyons became highly experienced in working with the Ohio Department of
Development to bring jobs and new investment to Hamilton.
“Along with my education and experience, I bring a fresh perspective to West Chester,” said
Lyons. “I was raised here in West Chester, and I am now raising my own family here in West
Chester. I am committed to keeping this community safe and strong for families and
businesses.”
Raising a family in this community means that Lyons is positioned to bring the issues of families
like hers to the forefront in West Chester. This, combined with her extensive economic
development experience, means she is able to balance the needs of family with the needs of the
township. “As Trustee, I will work to keep West Chester ‘a place where families grow and
businesses prosper,’” said Lyons.
