Dear Neighbors,

During this chilly Thanksgiving week, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of gratitude and the many things I have to be grateful for. At the top of my list? The opportunity to serve our neighbors in District 7.

Serving on the City Council has put me in touch with incredible people who work hard serving their communities (people just like you!). From Wickersham to Woodlawn, we are fortunate to have so many engaged and caring people dedicating themselves to our community.

So this week, I offer my gratitude to all those I’ve sat down for coffee with, met with at neighborhood meetings, and seen work to strengthen our community. From the entire District 7 Council Office, we wish a happy and safe Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

Yours in public service,

Office note: Our office is closed from November 19 to 23 in observance of Thanksgiving Week.
