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!
Elizabeth Glidden
