As a missionary pastor serving in Hope, back in the late 1980s, my family and I developed a true love for the people, the culture, and the unique natural beauty of this amazing community.

It was during that time that we first met Molly (Pease) Luce. Even as a young woman, she was a force to be reckoned with. Having kept in touch over the years, we’ve seen not much has changed.

Filled with a deep sense of compassion and a gift for service, she has taken her life experience and grown into a powerhouse advocate for improving her community and the human condition both at home and abroad.

A devoted wife and mother, and a successful entrepreneur, she is knowledgeable, instinctively intelligent, doggedly determined, fiercely courageous, boundlessly energetic, and hilariously funny.

Molly brings candor and conviction to every conversation, always with great wit and wisdom born of life experience.

With Molly, it’s never a question of “Can it be done?” but rather a statement of, “Let’s get it done!”

We might no longer live in Hope, but we know that Molly is the advocate, the fighter, the leader Hope needs to protect, defend, and advance its community interests. Vote Molly Luce!
