“My goal is to be the bridge between the old-school and the new-school. Some people that have a long history here bring a lot of value with their experience and knowledge. There’s also a younger generation and new residents that bring a lot of fresh ideas to the table. I think I have both of those perspectives at heart. I look forward to providing an open mind to our city’s leadership.”
