My District 6 roots run deep

I didn’t just move to or rent a house in the district to be on the ballot.
I am passionate about District 6 because I am District 6.
I
am a Phoenix native and have lived in District 6 for most of my life. My family’s roots run deep in the community with our many decades of public service and charities we support.
My grandmother, Sophia Kruglick, was the 2nd woman to be elected to the Phoenix City Council from 1964-1968 and lived in the same district that I would like to represent today. My great-grandmother and extended family lived a few minutes from the district.
I am running for Phoenix City Council because I know the way to help solve our kitchen table priorities, is to understand that our economic and social issues are entwined. I believe the city and community must work closely together so that we can achieve lasting results.
My grandmother understood this when she spoke at a conference in 1965. This is her speech as reported in the Phoenix
Gazette.
“City governments have the responsibility to provide social as well as physical needs for the citizens.
If we are to have the kind of city in which there is true freedom of opportunity, the municipal government, in cooperation with the citizens, must accept a continuing and growing responsibility in modifying the social environment as
well as the physical environment.
It is just as important for the City of Phoenix to be concerned with the resources to eliminate delinquency as is for the city to have a good water system. It is just as important for the city to see that there is sound environment in which business may flourish as it is for the city to have a good airport.
It is just as important for the city to play a role in helping the city to expand the educational opportunities for all citizens as it is for the city to have a good street improvement plan.
In reality, the physical and social needs of a community are inseparable.”

Nana and me
My grandmother’s words are still valid 57 years later. We can solve the pressing problems of today when we include the social, physical, and economic needs of our community as we work towards permanent
solutions.
As your Councilwoman, I know we will have many conversations together and priorities will be accomplished. I am confident when we work together, we thrive together.

The amount isn’t as important as the donation itself because it’s going to take a lot of people chipping in as much as they can to reach our goal. A win this November is a win for our families and businesses.
Thank you for your trust and support,
Joan Greene
