Dear Ward 6 and Tucson,
I'm honored to have been selected to serve the remainder of Council Member Kozachik's term (through December 2025). From the application process it's clear that there's likely to be a strong field of candidates for the position in the 2025 election. In the meantime, I'm immensely grateful that the Ward 6 team has agreed to stay alongside me in service to the Ward and city. Thank you Diana, Dora, Nadia, Ann and Mark for helping to shape our plans and work ahead to deliver our very best!
This week I met with former Council Member Kozachik. I thank him for taking the time to review with me numerous Ward 6 land use projects in the pipeline, as well as the status of the plastics recycling program and other priority initiatives. His openness to staying in touch and supporting a seamless transition will be invaluable, and clearly reflect his unwavering commitment to Ward 6 and Tucson.
I attended the Mayor and Council meeting on Tuesday, met with the City Manager and City Attorney, and have started touching bases with the Mayor and Council colleagues. All of us are focused on the budget for the near-term and beyond the horizon. I'll update you on Council agendas and decisions throughout the coming months.
Please continue to stay in touch with the Ward 6 team for assistance with resident and neighborhood concerns. We'll be huddling regularly and establish the best process to prioritize my calendar and focus moving forward as well.
Thank you,
Karin
P.S.
Future newsletters will include Ward 6 and community highlights so stay tuned!
