Her District 2 Concerns
The community forums titled “District 2 in Review,” along with ongoing conversations with residents, ride-alongs and staff and facility visits have been mutually impactful—opening my eyes to the concerns of our community while also keeping residents informed about key developments across the city. I look forward to continuing this open and transparent approach to community engagement as I move forward in my service as a council member.
Please check back as the campaign continues for upcoming open forums and opportunities to share your thoughts and learn more about my platform.
