'As a leader, I know that I can make the best decisions when I get input from the people closest to the situation.'
Much of this year’shas focused on a set of common issues that virtually all of us are thinking about – affordability, homelessness, public safety and equity. But equally important is having a mayor who will show up and listen in every neighborhood in Denver. Denver is a big city, after all, and understanding the specific needs of neighborhoods from Capitol Hill to Ruby Hill to North Park Hill to University Hills is critical if the mayor is going to represent all of us.
That’s why I’ve always prioritized genuine community engagement, both in my campaign and in my administration, to ensure we are delivering real results for people. This type of community-centric leadership has been a guiding value of my campaign for mayor. Leading up to the general election, I visited all of Denver’s 78 neighborhoods, meeting voters where they’re at and coming to them to learn about the struggles they face, the hope they feel, and what kind of leadership they need from their next Mayor. I believe that government works better when everyone has direct, approachable access to their city government.
