So yesterday, I shared why I am
running for Phoenix City Council and I talked about what I’ve been hearing from people in the community so far.
My thoughts about today’s final question is from the heart. I believe when we lead with compassion, the rest will fall into place. Talking with District 6, you agree. So, to continue where we left off yesterday… Is there anything not covered in the first four questions that you would like the readers to know about you and your candidacy to the City Council?
"City Council is not a stepping stone to a future political position or job. I am focused and passionate about representing the District I grew up and live in. My father was one of the original developers of Munds Park and I spent my high school summers working there. I experienced first-hand how a community is built and comes together. We need more people in elected office who are compassionate. I spent my adult life working to help non-profits and volunteering. I know how important it is to extend a hand to those in need. The hand we extend today may be what the person needs to walk a path to a bright future. I am an animal rescue advocate and will make sure our public lands and animals are protected. I am also working with Jagger, my golden retriever, to be certified as a therapy dog to bring comfort to those in hospice. Phoenix will be stronger when we work together with our sister cities. For example, Mesa is the ‘World’s First Autism Certified City’. I have already started discussing with Mesa their blueprint to success and I would like Phoenix to work towards becoming an
Autism Certified City. I will work with the Parks Department and have the proper playground equipment installed so children, adults and families of all abilities can play together. Inviting partnerships with private companies to sponsor the equipment or a destination park is a way to include our business community. I am running for Phoenix City Council for community interest and not self-interest. There are so many opportunities to make a difference for our families and businesses and we can do it together. I look forward to
rolling up my sleeves and getting to work as your Councilwoman. It is our community and our future."
P.S. If you’re reading this now, you may have already contributed to my campaign. It’s ok if you have and also ok if you haven’t - but either way, I’m going to ask you to consider the following:
Having heard my story over the past 3 days, could you see me
representing you as your Councilwoman?
2. Pledge Or Contribute Money: If you don’t have the time, but you can support financially, then I invite you to help in this way.
3. And/or reply back on this email and let me know with a simple "I’m In" & I’ll know to continue sending you more messages like this one.
The campaign for Phoenix City Council is going to be hotly contested and I need all of the early support I can get.
Sincerely, Joan Greene
