Councilwoman
Kimberly Cook
There’s one thing that drove me to run for Council in the first place – to give our kids the very best education possible. From AP classes to STEM, I want every opportunity for them to excel. That’s why I support board members who listen to parents and reflect our community’s values.
Look all around you. Our city has never looked better. We have spent your money on things that are important to you. You don’t have to imagine it, because you can see it.
Wald Park. Aquatics Center.
Roundabout at the Pump House.
Cahaba Heights Park. Crosshaven Drive.
New Merkel Senior Center.
The list goes on and on.
And that’s not by accident.
This happened because we listened.
Whether it’s over coffee, in an email or on the phone, I pay attention to you.
Because we are spending your money.
Vote for me, and I’ll keep delivering results you’re proud of, and schools that put families first.
Let's Keep Vestavia Hills Moving Forward -- Together!
Councilwoman Kimberly Cook
Serving You Since 2016
Kimberly Cook has called Vestavia Hills home since 2002, when she and her husband, Greg, moved to the Liberty Park neighborhood to raise their family. A native of Virginia and graduate of the College of William and Mary, Kimberly came to the Birmingham area in 1991 and quickly became an engaged and member of the community.
“I think government is smarter when it involves more people.”
Elected to the Vestavia Hills City Council in 2016, Kimberly has focused on making local government more open and responsive. She champions thoughtful economic growth that helps fund the excellent services and facilities that Vestavia Hills families expect and deserve.
Before stepping away from her professional career to focus on family and volunteer service, Kimberly worked as a senior software engineer at SouthTrust Data Services. Her work supported industries from military defense to automotive manufacturing and banking — experience that now informs her practical, solutions-focused approach to public service.
“Asking questions is my superpower.”
Over the years, Kimberly has been deeply involved in our schools — holding roles with PTOs at four city schools: corporate fundraising chair, newsletter editor, Partners in Education chair, online registration chair, and more. She also serves as Education Liaison, working closely with schools, parents, and city leaders to support Vestavia’s students.
A dedicated Scout leader since her oldest son was a Cub Scout, Kimberly has served as a Cubmaster, Vulcan District Commissioner, and earned honors such as the Silver Beaver Award. At Dawson Baptist Church, she has taught youth Sunday School for over 20 years. Kimberly has also served on the boards of Grace House Christian Home for Girls and Brother Bryan Mission.
"More than anything, people want to be heard, and in nine years I have learned to be a pretty good listener."
Kimberly is active in the Jefferson County Republican Party Executive Committee, the Alabama GOP Executive Committee, and is a graduate of Leadership Vestavia Hills, Class of 2022.
Kimberly and Greg, now a Justice on the Alabama Supreme Court, are the proud parents of Geoffrey (VHHS ’10), Mary Catherine (VHHS ’14), and Will (VHHS ’19).
