Governor Roy Cooper has appointed Fayetteville Mayor Pro Tem Kathy Jensen to the North Carolina Military Affairs Commission. The Commission provides advice, counsel and recommendations to the governor, state lawmakers and state agencies on North Carolina’s military installations.

“Now is a great time to raise issues important to our current service and National Guard Members,” Jensen said. “There are more active-duty soldiers at Fort Bragg compared to any other installation across the U.S. Army.”

Jensen says she will work to prioritize the city of Fayetteville’s military interests. She will serve a two-year term on the Commission. Jensen was born and raised in Fayetteville and owns a local business.
