Leading by example

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." ― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

I was taught compassion and to extend a hand to those in need at an early age.

I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t volunteering or raising money to assist an organization in need. When I was a little girl I went around the neighborhood with my orange carton at Halloween collecting coins for UNICEF.

As an adult I am an animal advocate and volunteer for numerous organizations.

The photo is of me and my rescue pup Bailey. I rescued Bailey when she was three months old, and she had burns on both sides of her body. With time and love she healed and is the most amazing pup (even when she dug up the sprinkler system).

I believe we need more elected people with compassion and who will lead by example.

As your Councilwoman, I will host monthly Connect D6 events. The mission is for folks in our community to volunteer for several hours that day. Connect D6 events will assist a different organization each month and I will work with our local businesses to help sponsor the events.

Extending our hand, sharing a smile is how we build a community of unity.

I need your help. We must make sure that District 6 knows what is at stake in this election. We can finally elect a community-focused, integrity-driven, and compassionate Councilwoman.

Can you make a $5 donation to our campaign today to help us get our message in front of every voter possible? Your $5 contribution can be the difference we need today to put us over the top and help send Joan to the Phoenix City Council this November.

When we work together, we thrive together.
