Why residents should know about them
“When I walk into the mayor’s office every day, I know I cannot make every resident happy, cannot say “yes” to everyone. Every time I say “yes” to someone, I am saying “no” to someone else. A leader has to stand up and lead even if some residents are not happy. But I try to focus on the north star—what’s best for the city, the constituents, and for service delivery out there in the neighborhoods.”
