Each newsletter is my opportunity to reflect on our progress, highlight key initiatives and share what’s ahead for our District. Serving as your City Council representative is both an honor and a responsibility I take seriously, and I am committed to keeping you informed and engaged in the work we are doing together.

To that end, you should also be getting my Agenda Previews, which identifies which items are of concern to the quality of life in our district that will be considered at the next City Council meeting. I encourage you to contact my office in advance of a meeting to express any support or opposition you may have regarding any items.

Residents are also urged to attend my monthly town halls. These town halls rotate among the many neighborhoods that comprise our district so that constituents can discuss issues specific to their community as well as broader, citywide concerns.

Whether its’s road improvement projects, outdoor recreational opportunities, the addition of public transportation routes, improvements to our water and energy infrastructure or increasing fire protection for businesses and families, our success in District 5 is rooted in your voices.

Please continue to make your voices heard. From upcoming public meetings to neighborhood initiatives, I encourage you to stay involved, voice your concerns and share your ideas. Your participation is what makes our district strong, and I am committed to ensuring that your voices are heard in every decision I make.
