" I believe that direct engagement has been the most meaningful way to connect with
voters and discuss the issues that matter most to our community. After reviewing the
questionnaire, I have decided not to participate because many of the topics covered are
better suited for state or federal candidates. As a candidate for the La Vista City Council,
I prefer to focus on the local issues that directly affect our community and fall within the
responsibilities of the office. That's why I believe our team has gotten our campaign
message out effectively."
