11/2 The night before the election

We are excited to say that this is a really close race. We are most humbled and encouraged by all of the support we have received. While we have not been to personally make contact with everyone in the district- we have picked up on an undercurrent of people who want a change with the park board leadership. Nowhere is this seen more than in District #3, where there is a lack of communication, leadership and representation.

District 3 is made up of many neighborhoods all unique in their own right and each one deserves to be heard and represented.

Its time for change.

Its time to be serious about fixing plank road- not just closing it indefinitely

Its time to get the park finished 4 years after the fact for the kids in the East Phillips neighborhood.

Its time to work with Cedar Riverside community and enhance the park in that neighborhood.

11/1 To the cycling community We will finally have a rider on the Park Board.We need to protect our trails, parkways and commuter routes. We need a voice on the board when design and planning sessions take place.

As the #2 cycling community in the Nation- we need someone to protect out interests and make sure our routes are safe to ride
