Ivell lives in Tara Golf and Country Club with husband, David, and their two dogs, Baxter (a huge Golden Retriever) and Billy Bob Banjo (a Greek Harehound street dog rescued from Lesvos, Greece).  They have two sons, 48 and 30, and two Grandchildren, 14 and 16.   

Ivell moved to Bradenton to be near David's 92 year old parents.  Since moving to the area, Ivell has served as Precinct Committeewoman on the Manatee Committee, as poll watcher for the Republican Party, and is busy working to help President Trump get re-elected.

The seat of Republican State Committeewoman here is an open seat in 2020, being vacated by Peggy Simone, in icon of the party, who chose not to seek re-election. The position is one of three representing each county on the Florida Republican Committee, along with County Chair and State Committeeman.

"I bring to the table organization and energy to build upon the successes of Manatee Republicans."
