The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:
Investing Federal relief dollars is an issue facing our town and I plan to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come up with sound and smart solutions that benefit our community.
Critical differences between me and my opponents:
I will work hard to listen to all voices especially those that have been historically marginalized. I believe that just because you have a seat at the table it doesn't mean you are listened and I will strive to ensure that everyone gets a voice regardless who they are.
Accomplishments:
Sitting in the PZC and making decisions that affects our town and listening to the community and working hard with my colleagues to ensure that we make the best decisions we can, I believe, and makes me the type of candidate that can work hard and tirelessly for our town.
Other issues:
We value the contributions made by our immigrant communities and we everyone deserves a livable wage.
We need to make sure that when we say we are inclusive we prove it with our actions and I believe we are working hard to do that especially for our LGBTQI youth.
What else would you like voters to know about you?
I am not a quitter and am not afraid of hard work! When you are representing an entire community you have to listen to all different voices because you represent ALL OF THEM.
