Q:
What does “community” and the
Canyon Corridor mean to you?
A:
The Canyon Corridor is a diverse and vibrant
part of our community, and connecting
has been a key to their success. Residents
and businesses in the Canyon Corridor
have established a tradition of collaborative
leadership and achieving success by working
together. I am a strong believer that we can
go farther as a community if we unite and
everyone pitches in. The stakeholders in this
area are doing just that—everyone is helping
to weave a strong fabric that unites businesses,
neighborhoods, churches and schools to keep
our community safer and make us stronger.
Q:
Now that you are settled in office and aware
of the issues in the Canyon Corridor, where do
you think there are opportunities to improve
the community?
A:
I am proudly a product of Phoenix: I was
born and raised here in District 4, so I am
very familiar with our community. Over the
past year, I have been able to connect and
reconnect with residents and neighborhood
groups who are changing the face of
Phoenix, and I am excited to continue to be a
part of that change. We have the opportunity
to improve the community by meeting our
neighbors, creating a shared vision and
finding ways to partner to leverage city
resources with community and private sector
partners. This is why I ran for office in the
first place, and it will be a top priority over
the next year and the rest of my term.
Q:
What have you learned during your time in
office that has influenced your goals to assist
our neighborhood to grow to greater social
health and broader civic and community
participation?
A:
Civic and community engagement is the
foundation of a strong city. The good
news is it’s contagious! Connecting with
community efforts leads to teamwork,
friendships and stronger relationships.
