A Letter from LaToya Cantrell (sponsored)

Friends,
It has been the honor of my life to serve as your mayor and I’m writing to ask for your vote on November 13 so that we can build on the progress we have made the past three years.

And we’ve done it all while improving the city’s finances, making city operations run more efficiently, and better connecting our people with services. We’ve gotten through those challenges and made progress together because we have chosen to be a city that says yes. We’ve said yes to doing the hard work that’s necessary to leave a sustainable city that’s here for future generations. We said yes to putting public health first to protect our people during a global pandemic.
