Onward and Upward District 8!

 

Welcome!

 

For me, representing District 8 on the Fort Worth City Council is not just about a job or having a title in front of my name.  For me, representing District 8 is an honor and responsibility I take very seriously.  I am District 8 and District 8 is me.  You see, some of my first memories as a child are my mother’s law practice on Evans, I attended elementary school at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic School on Terrell and served as an altar server and reader at OMM Church,  I was reared in Rolling Hills, and through it all, I grew up with a commitment to give back, not just taking from the community that has given so much to me.

 

I was blessed to receive a stellar education at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts and a master’s degree at Nottingham University in Nottingham, England.  However, I feel I ended up right where I should be: back in South-East Fort Worth working to uplift the community that uplifted me: the daughter of a hard-working single-parent.

 

As native of South-East Fort Worth, it is a truly an honor for me to represent the area on the Council.  Working as a council aide for 8 years before serving as council member, I worked with residents all over the district.

 

 

As Council member for District 8, I have been guided by several goals that guide me each and every day:

 

• Pro-Active and responsive City Hall

We receive calls and comments not only from District 8 resident but all over the City of Fort Worth and beyond.  I hope this is because people know that we will listen and try to help in any way that we can.

 

• We communicate regularly with the district through a quarterly newsletter

 

• Town Hall meetings that engage the residents of District 8

 

• Work to help create new neighborhood associations and assist existing organizations

 

• Active and involved residents

It is very important to me that District 8 residents in particular know that their issues will be heard and that they will have an active council member to address their concerns

 

• An active District 8 Advisory Board

 

• Positive Re-Development

 

 

From Morningside to Meadowbrook, from Greenway to Garden Acress, from Riverside to Rolling Hills, we are a diverse district.  We are also a proud and growing district.  I am proud to continue to be on this road toward positive and lasting change.

 

 

Onward and Upward, District 8!
