Madeline Hill was Ashland's first female mayoral candidate and while she was not elected, Hill's campaign set the stage for Cathy Golden Shaw's success in 1988. Hill was one of the founder's of the Ashland Branch of the National Organization for Women, served on the Jackson County Budget Committee and in Ashland, was responsible for the Hill Amendment to the city's comprehensive plan.

Madeline Hill has always been conscious of our collective need to protect those most vulnerable and spent much of her career with State of Oregon social service programs. She gained the skills and credibility needed to build Mountain Meadows now a flourishing independent senior living community in Ashland, Oregon.
