MAKE SURE TO VOTE ON OCTOBER 20
Why We Endorse Aaron
Aaron is fighting for better public transit, services, community safety, and a city that works for all.
I have started work on making our city safer, our infrastructure better, our spaces cleaner and our taxes lower. I decided to run one more time to see these plans to completion….Of course, we will need more employees to deliver those services, which means good jobs and less unemployment.
