Public safety is about getting to know your community and building stronger relationships. I believe that getting to know your City staff and those responsible for our public safety, such as the police officers and fire fighters in our district, is very important. The closer we are as a community, the safer we'll all be and events like these are instrumental in establishing that familiarity. | |
Neighborhoods across our city will be joining over 38 million people and 16 thousand communities in celebrating National Night Out. If you're interested in hosting a future National Night Out event in the district, please reach out to my office for assistance in organizing or promoting. We can also assist with resources and staff. I hope to see you there! | |

CDC Recommends COVID-19 Tests Before Flying: The CDC recently updated their COVID-19 guidance to recommend all travelers test for COVID-19 in the days before flying for summer vacations internationally or within the U.S. People traveling outside of the U.S. are required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than one day before returning to the states.

How to Protect Yourself and Others From COVID-19: With COVID-19 cases on the rise, it is important to follow CDC guidelines to prevent illness. Most importantly, stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, wear a well-fitting mask, avoid poorly ventilated areas and crowds, and take precautions when you travel.
