Happy New Year!
As we reflect on the past year and plan for the next, I again thank you for the opportunity to serve District 10 as your councilman.
We have faced many challenges as a community in 2017, and we've also celebrated victories and good times together.
It is an honor to serve this district, where so many work together to make our communities better.
Again, thank you for all you do for each other, our D10 neighborhoods and for our entire community. We look forward to working with you this coming year.
We wish you all a Prosperous New Year.
