Ms. Kimbleton is bringing a well-established expertise in communication and public affairs to City Hall. She has decades of experience as an award-winning journalist, most recently at WJXT where she spent 13 years helping people in the community, telling positive stories, and consistently being a viewer favorite.

“This is a crucial role and requires extensive communications experience, and also a passion and love for our city,” said Mayor Curry. “Nikki’s positive attitude and history of listening and addressing people’s needs in the community complements my own vision for One City/One Jacksonville. I am excited to welcome her to my team.”

Kimbleton, who will start in the Mayor’s Office on April 9, added “joining Mayor Curry’s staff when so many exciting things are happening within the city is a dream come true. Under Mayor Curry’s leadership I truly believe Jacksonville’s brightest days are in front of us. I look forward to the journey ahead.”
