City of Colfax City Council Councilmember Caroline McCully

Caroline McCully relocated to Colfax in 2015, where she and her husband are raising their family in a town she says elicited fond memories of their childhood. After a career that included restaurant and facility management and sales, she has been a stay-at-home mom who homeschools her three children.

She volunteers at the Food Bank of Nevada County distribution centers and also has a passion for sharing community events, information and happenings via local social media communities.

On June 28, 2023, the Colfax City Council convened to interview candidates to fill vacancies left by two councilmembers who left office within the previous six weeks. Mayor Trinity Burruss made a motion to appoint McCully, and her appointment was approved in a 2-1 vote.

As a councilmember, McCully wishes to serve the community of Colfax by focusing on the needs of the community’s growth, honoring and protecting Colfax’s history and hometown comfort, while balancing it within the city’s financial and legal means.
