Mayor's Office

Dr. Linda K. Moore serves as the Mayor of the City of Quincy, bringing a lifetime of local roots, national leadership experience, and an unwavering commitment to public service. A lifelong resident of Quincy, Dr. Moore is focused on delivering results through transparency, fiscal responsibility, and strategic investment in the city’s future.

Raised on North 17th Street, she grew up working in her grandfather’s neighborhood grocery store, where she learned firsthand the values of hard work, service, and community. A valedictorian of Payson Seymour High School, she went on to earn her degree from Quincy University before building a successful national career in sports media, operations, and event leadership.

Dr. Moore held key leadership roles at the 1996 Summer Olympics and ESPN, where she notably transformed the ESPY Awards into a nationally recognized charitable event. Her work in these high-profile positions was marked by innovation, organizational transformation, and measurable impact.

In 2017, Dr. Moore returned to Quincy with a mission to serve. As City Treasurer, she modernized outdated systems, streamlined financial processes, and implemented technology upgrades that saved time and taxpayer dollars — earning a reputation for accountability and results.

Now, as Mayor, Dr. Moore leads with bold vision and clear priorities. She is the architect of the Fix & Grow Plan, a straightforward commitment to fix what’s broken and grow what’s possible in every neighborhood. Her leadership is defined by action, data-driven decision-making, and a deep respect for the people who live and work in Quincy.

Dr. Moore continues to champion economic development, public safety, infrastructure investment, and good government — because she believes Quincy’s best days aren’t behind us. They’re ahead.
