Terry Wilson is a husband, father, and public servant whose work in local government, education, and community development has centered on helping families and strengthening neighborhoods.

A Jennings resident and Ward 2 Councilman, Terry also serves as City Administrator for Dellwood.

He spent 12 years leading Beyond Housing’s Pagedale Family Support Center and also served as the organization’s Annual Fund Director. Those roles deepened his commitment to supporting families, connecting people with resources, and building lasting community partnerships.

A graduate of Lincoln University of Missouri, Terry has also earned Chancellor’s Certificates in Civic Leadership and Planning & Zoning from the University of Missouri–St. Louis. His service extends to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the 100 Black Men of Metropolitan St. Louis, and the 62nd & 65th Regiments Legacy Foundation.

Terry and his wife, LaChrista, are the parents of two sons, Terry Jr. (TJ) and Logan. As a candidate for Mayor, he brings that same commitment to family and community to seven priorities: stronger city operations, open communication, growing business districts, dependable everyday services, public safety, support for seniors, and opportunities for youth.
