Your 8th Ward Council Member

E-mail Print PDF
Dear Friends:

I am asking for your support for my re-election as Councilmember for the 8th Ward of Minneapolis.  I am running for re-election because I believe I can bring people together around a common purpose -- to ensure this is a great city for all of us, not just some of us. 

Since my election in 2005, I have made it my mission to be a Councilmember who is accessible, accountable, and hard working on behalf of 8th Ward residents and the City as a whole.  There is much left to do and many challenges ahead as Minneapolis deals with an even greater need for public services in the face of a possible $7 billion state deficit.  My goal is to work with you to address these challenges.

In the next four years I will focus on maintaining core city services of public safety and public works; an economic opportunity agenda that includes investing in people and renewing our neighborhoods hit by blight and foreclosure; ensuring our youth have the tools they need for success in life; and preparing our City for the future as a leader on sustainable and green living

Thank you for the great privilege of serving as 8th Ward Councilmember for the past three years.  With your help and support, I hope to continue our work together!

The Eighth Ward

Ward 8 is a vibrant and culturally diverse collection of communities located in the south central area of Minneapolis.
The 8th Ward is bordered on the north by Lake Street, home to the Midtown Exchange and a variety of small thriving businesses. It boasts the successful local business district of 48th and Chicago.
Sabathani Community Center
 Institutions serving community within the 8th Ward include Pillsbury House and Pillsbury House Theatre, Sabathani Community Center, as well as many congregations and faith-based organizations.

Issues facing the 8th Ward include transportation planning, reconstruction of I-35W, economic development on Lake Street, 38th Street, Chicago Avenue and Nicollet Avenue, property taxes, community building, and youth development.
