Kandy Damron

Kandy was born and raised in Talala. She earned a degree in Education from Oklahoma State University and spent 37 years teaching and coaching. After retiring from the classroom, she joined the Board of Trustees and became Mayor in 2019.

Talala has always been home. She loves the town’s small-town character and is committed to protecting that charm while making room for thoughtful, sustainable growth. Change is inevitable — her focus is finding the balance that keeps Talala feeling like Talala as the community moves forward.
