=College=
Courtney attended Boston College, where she studied Law, and planned on becoming a paralegal. She did well in all of her classes, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She had hoped to go on to study congressional law, but she had to return to Cascade Falls after her parents death, and couldn't afford Law School.
=Working for the Mayor=
Not being able to afford Law School, Courtney decided to take a job working with Mayor Strudwick. She figured that this would help her make some connections if she was ever going to run for Congress. It would also help her earn money so she could return to college.
She was slightly disturbed by how the Mayor would often flirt with her, but she'd often dismiss it was 'harmless'.
=Cascade Falls Murders=
During the Cascade Falls Murders, the Mayor was named a suspect. The Mayor put a silence order on the local newspaper, which made Courtney question what the Mayor was doing. But she justified it, saying that he didn't want the investigation being impeded. It was when the Blackmail charges against Melinda Hale came out that Courtney would start to be unsure of what the Mayor was doing.
=The Decision to Run for Mayor=
After the murders were over, Courtney questioned what the Mayor was doing. Particularly when he tried to force Lorelei Russell out of town. She saw him continue to repeat the mistakes of the past. His divorce from his wife made things much clearer for Courtney -- with him running unopposed, she'd have to run against him.
=Election=
Courtney ran on a campaign of bringing Cascade Falls to the modern world. She'd work towards building a bridge to the mainland. She'd allow Lorelei Russell to remain in town. And she would focus on expanding the town. Courtney managed to win the election with more than 90% of the vote.
