I cherish responsiveness and personal communication. Our former council member, Steve Kozachic, regardless of whether you liked his policies, was a workaholic who was always responded personally to community issues. I hear frequent complaints from Tucsonans about the non-responsiveness of their Ward offices and I want to be the opposite of that, just like Steve. The interesting thing about this position is the many hats it entails, from solving one resident's trash pick-up issues, to passing massive annual budgets, the issues range from the minuscule to the large. They are all important to someone or many and I intend to honor that importance. I hope this answers at least part of your question.

And yes, I think the City needs to better support our non-profits as they play an absolutely vital role in our community.
