I hope you saw the current issue (July 9 – 15, 2007) of the Tompkins Weekly which mentions my candidacy on their front page.

This evening I will be walking through parts of our neighborhood with Nathan Shinagawa.

Thanks to all the neighbors who greeted me into their front porches and homes despite the pouring rain on July 4! And many thanks to Lori who joined me on the rainy walk. Did you see the article regarding my candidacy that appears in the current Ithaca Times?

A press release regarding my candidacy went out to the local media yesterday morning. You can read the full release here: Press release july 2007 This evening I will be walking with Lori Kofoid and I look forward to continuing the conversation that I began with you last week. Happy 4th of July!

I enjoyed meeting many of my neighbors during my first ‘walk’ on Friday. Many thanks to Kathy Luz Herrera for walking with me. Most of you shared your concerns regarding our neighborhood and City during our conversations. It was an affirmation of my reasons for running for Council: preserving and protecting our neighborhood’s quality of life; balanced economic development; and fiscal accountability. I also hear loud and clear that you expect me to remain in contact with the neighborhood after the elections. I look forward to more such conversations over the next few weeks.

From this week onwards I’ll be going door-to-door throughout our Ward, meeting you, my neighbors, and learning more about issues that are important to you. Today (June 29) evening, I’ll be walking with Kathy Luz Herrera . See you! Whoops! I just found out by testing that the ‘Post Comment’ feature of my blog is not working properly. I will smooth out the kink soon.

Thanks to all for your support and encouragement at the Juneteenth Celebration!
