Let's change the conversation from politics to people.

 

What I'll Do

Listen.

I will increase community involvement in Council business by making it more visible. I'll work to make the Lafayette Consolidated Government's website more user-friendly, so that the citizens can find information quickly. I will share the issues on social media, ask for your input, and will respond when you communicate with me. I will give you my full attention when you speak at a council meeting.

Question.

I am not afraid to ask questions. And I will have a lot of them. I will ask questions of my constituents, fellow council members, and those with experience and expertise. Having a different point of view means asking different questions.

Learn.

I don't know everything, but I am a fast learner. I am not a politician. I am a citizen inspired to serve.

Decide.

After weighing the pros and cons, going over the research, and considering the opinions of the people, I will form a complete picture of each issue. Every decision that I make on the council will be taken seriously. And I will hold myself accountable for each decision.

As one of nine council members, I may not be able to change everything.

But I know I can change the conversation.
