I have been observing many e mails today addressed to the obey creek issues addressed to the mayor and town council on how the many southern village residents are unhappy with the committee process. I personally as a canidate and a southern village resident has not been approached on this issue therefore I think this issue should be brought up as well as other issues in other central west and Fordham road development as well.

As the new State Senator, especially one appointed by a committee, I feel an obligation to proactively engage my new constituents and give them the opportunity to voice their concerns. One of my favorite quotes is by Alastair Farrugia, "Freedom is when the people can speak; democracy is when the government listens." I take that to heart and I hope these Town Hall meetings can be a positive conversation about how to move our state forward. We face a lot of challenges and I also want the opportunity to present my progressive agenda for the upcoming session. I understand the political realities of the General Assembly, but it's critical that we begin to articulate a Democratic agenda and fight back against the intolerant and harmful policies the legislature has given us.
Here are the dates, times and locations of the Town Hall events:
