Investing in public safety, ending fiscal irresponsibility, and creating jobs that put citizens back to work.
Officially Filing and Mayoral Forums!
This was a fantastic and eventful week as we continued our push to bring Bold, New Leadership to the city of Columbia! Because of the energetic response that we have gotten from supporters all over the city, we have been able to effectively address the key challenges that our city is facing:
Statement on Vandalism of City Hall
Earlier today Steve issued the following statement on the racial graffiti found on City Hall this morning:
“I was disgusted this morning to learn that what should be a symbol of inclusion in our representative democracy had been vandalized with bigotry and intolerance.
This incident was clearly designed to frighten and intimidate but it has had the opposite result.
This is exactly why we need a new leader who can unify all of us behind a new vision for Columbia, and I am now more than ever dedicated to that cause.
I have absolute faith that our city’s police force will identify and apprehend those responsible but, more importantly, I have faith that the people of Columbia will come together to reject this kind of illegal and unacceptable activity.
The challenges facing our city are as serious as the stakes are high. We cannot address them distracted by ignorance. We cannot overcome them if we are divided by hate.
We are one people. We are one Columbia. Only by coming together can we make this a city of vision, opportunity, and hope for all.”
Happy Hanukkah!
In these difficult times when many struggle in the shadows of fear and despair, I can think of few celebrations more fitting than a festival of light.I can think of few better expressions of community than reminding those who are less fortunate that they do not stand alone and that even the deepest darkness can be driven away with the lighting of a single candle.
So it is with faith and hope in our hearts that we wish you a safe and happy Hanukkah. From our family to yours, we say, "Shalom."
