Thank you for taking the time to complete this anonymous survey. All of your responses are optional, but I encourage you to provide as much information as possible because it will help me tremendously in assessing where the community stands and what the community thinks and perceives about community pride, governance and engagement, and city infrastructure. If elected, I intend to provide the results of this survey prior to taking office so that the community as a whole can see where we stand. Thank you again!
