My Promise to you
It is my honor and privilege to serve as your Chattanooga District 9 Councilwoman. It’s been a long road to get here, and I don’t take my responsibilities lightly. I knew I had to be the change I wanted to see in the world, and that’s why I ran for public office. But just because I won the race, doesn’t mean that the journey is over. It’s just beginning.
It’s my promise to you to work hard every day to help build a better Chattanooga and a better future for ALL of us. We can do better. Together.
Election Day March 2!
