Demand Good Governance from Your Councilmembers
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013 @ 9:44AM
When was the last time you went to a town hall meeting with your city council representative? When was the last time one was held?
Good governance is a two-way street. You need to communicate your concerns to your representative on important issues so they can properly represent the interests of those who have elected them. At the same time, your representative also needs to communicate to you information about those issues. When in place, this good communication helps the representative make the best decisions for our community.
I believe this is the heart of democracy and when I am a member of City Council, I will represent District 5 and its interests. I’m committing to monthly town hall meetings that will rotate within my district to communicate with the citizens whom I will represent. Mark your calendars. The town halls will be the third Tuesday of every month and the first three will be:
April 16 – 7:00 p.m. at Casa Verde Commons, 1355 Lindenwood Grove, 80907
May 21 -7 p.m. The Fox & Hound, 3101 New Center Point Dr. 80922
June 18 - 6 p.m. Nemo’s Coffee, 2114 E. Pikes Peak Ave. 80909

I am running for city council because like you, I love Colorado Springs, and I believe we need collaborative leaders with energy, integrity, and innovative ideas, to propel our city forward and out of the status quo, toward becoming a world-class city.
We need thoughtful leadership and a coalition-building council, as we work to solve the many critical issues facing our city and to promote a positive and inclusive climate that attracts business, families, and tourists. I believe my experience and collaborative spirit, along with a true passion for our community -- are what’s needed to promote this vision.
