From Councilwoman Nikki Lee
I am very honored to have the privilege of representing Ward 4 and being your voice on the Tucson City Council. When my husband and I decided to raise our family in Tucson, we did it because we fell in love with this city. But even with a Master’s degree in business and technology, I had a hard time finding a locally-based job here. I ran for City Council because I want to help provide better opportunities for people at all levels in our city. That includes supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses, creating a strong, diversified economy and job market, and helping our community realize growth opportunities in a sustainable way. During my campaign I spoke to thousands of Southeast Tucson residents, listening to their concerns. The loudest message I heard was to invest in our roads, parks, and public safety. We all agree we want a safe and livable community and I intend to fight for the residents of Ward 4 to ensure we get our fair share of city infrastructure funding.
Your input is very important to me. We hosted our first constituent event, Cocoa with the Councilwoman, 10 days after I took office, and I’m looking forward to more events that give me the opportunity to hear directly from you. Our first Ward 4 Townhall is scheduled for March 26, 5:30pm at the William Clements Center, and we will focus on roads, parks and public safety. I hope you can join us so you can learn more about the upcoming investments in Southeast Tucson, including a new police substation and Purple Heart Park improvements; and we can learn more about your concerns and ideas for our community.
As a Veteran, I know first-hand the challenges that face us. I serve on a Congressional Veteran’s advisory committee and want to hear your voice. I am putting together a new Ward 4 Veteran’s Advisory Council. If you are a Veteran and would like to serve on this Council, email my Team your resume and letter of interest.
