Some of your critics in the Mobile community have said your political ambition to be Mayor of the City is the reason why you take some of the stands on the City Council. My critics should know by now that I have been very consistent in my representation since day one. I do however, make every effort to be accessible to my constituents and make them aware of the facts and listen to their input at all times. I communicate with my constituents by sponsoring district meetings and forums. I strongly advocated for the televised weekly council meetings so citizens could be made aware of their government in action.
Communication is a two way process.
Leadership must strive to engage citizens by taking the time to actively seek their involvement and by validating their input in the process. An informed and educated populace creates an exciting vibrant community. Democracy should be inclusive. When it is not, we should worry. I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to be the council representative from District 6.
