Alisia Bergsman

Alisia Bergsman grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania with a family of farmers and small-business entrepreneurs and relocated to Huntersville with her family in 2011. She worked as the Joint Director of the Refugee Claimants Support Centre in Brisbane, Australia and was the Development Director at Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services in Baltimore, Maryland. During the pandemic, she worked as a Medical Case Manager at a public health organization serving people living with HIV/AIDS.

Since being elected, Alisia has focused on building a Huntersville that works for everyone: one that manages growth with care, protects what makes Huntersville special, and ensures every resident feels seen, safe, and included.

Her first term brought big progress: passing the town’s first affordable housing policy, launching new community engagement tools like the Huntersville Hub newsletter and Brew on the Budget, expanding nature access with two new parks, and helping guide major rezoning projects with smart growth strategies.

From championing equity in planning and preservation, to supporting an inaugural PRIDE festival in Huntersville, to making sure emails actually get answered—Alisia brings heart, integrity, and a vision rooted in everyday people’s needs.
