A Note from Elizabeth
Minneapolis is and has always been a city of thriving active and growing neighborhoods.
To build a future with strong and vital neighborhoods, we have to think and act as one community – to open our hearts and minds to the needs of every person in every neighborhood, throughout the 8th ward and the entire city.
As your council member, I will work with you to make our neighborhoods places where families are secure, businesses can succeed, and all feel welcome. I will be a reasoned and responsible leader on the council, and an independent voice for all the people of the 8th ward. I will work in our neighborhoods and at City Hall to make our ward an example for the rest of Minneapolis to follow and a place we're proud to pass on to our children.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn more about me.
Please contact me at 612.825.9136 or elizabeth@elizabethglidden.com if you
have ideas or concerns you'd like to share with me.
