Councilmembers are elected to do that job with support from a staff sensitive to the council's role. The lifeblood of administration is solving problems and delivering services efficiently and equitably. This is not true for professional staff that comes to their jobs with resumes filled with accomplishments. Political conversations often center on anecdotes. The question invites a story.
Stories are very important to politics because politics and community building are about values.
That's why I am not ashamed to say that what politicians say often is more important than what they know or what they have accomplished. Values are best conveyed between diverse groups through symbols. That's what stories do. They convey symbolically how people feel, and what they value. I can write a treatise about justice, or I can tell a story about police brutality.
