Additional comment from candidate:
Exhibiting strong leadership skills with proven results is in my wheelhouse holding both state and national records in track and field I have represented San Antonio since the age of 13 thru participation in the Jr Olympics. My entire resume includes having a strong proven team record when faced with a challenge I also make sure that my team is well prepared. Going into office representing district 6 with no political ties my goal as your city representative will include proactively working with district 6 HOA associations to listen to their needs and take them to city hall. We can work together to target sidewalks, streets and highways changes that make up District 6 and are in need of repair. Prioritizing projects to address these needs of our individual communities who collectively make up district 6. Traffic is the most obvious problem We need to have a steady flow of traffic in and out of our homes and associations.
