After the call with PURA, I had a conversation with CCAR.
Every community in our state has to face the opioid pandemic and other addictions head-on. We like to believe that our communities are untouched but there are parents, children, and friends throughout the state supporting their loved ones in addition to or grieving an addiction-related loss.
One of my asks to chairs this year was related to supporting mental health and addiction services. If you want to collaborate with me, reach out.
Here are some things I am always working on to benefit the district:
- Worked on citations for several constituents
- Email and phone calls to follow up on local issues
- Keep in touch with municipal CEOs to collaborate!
- Sharing funding announcements with local orgs who might not see things I get
- Stay in touch with local PDs
Stay in touch with local school admin
- Meeting with constituents about local issues and asks
- Planning / organizing outreach events and office hours to keep open and transparent office
