Dear
Neighbor,
Today
begins the first day of the next term of City Council. I look forward to
continuing to represent southwest Minneapolis during my second term. After
today’s organizing meeting, the inauguration ceremonies and six weeks of deep
conversation with my colleagues, I am pleased to announce I have been
elected to chair three different committees for this coming term. Those
include overseeing the annual budget process as Chair of Budget,
continuing my role as Chair of our independent Audit Committee, and Chair of the
new Enterprise committee. All three of these leadership positions will allow me
to continue my work as a government watchdog, ensuring that city services are
delivered efficiently and equitably.
After
a brief period of chaos due to the restructuring of the council I am thrilled
to be back in my office and energized to get back to
work. I look forward to utilizing all these roles in the pursuit of a
better Minneapolis. While there is still a lot of work to be done, I am excited
to work with the new Council Members and you, the residents in the 13th Ward,
to keep our city moving forward.
Yours
in service,
