NOTE: Edited summary in keeping with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Previous lead section gave information identical to what is in the body and was better placed under relevant sections. Removed the reference to being the "youngest" council member as it was not clear if that meant ever or among her contemporary council members and cannot find a source verifying either interpretation.
