Ward I Applicant Questionnaire <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />4. What similarities and differences do you see between the role of a city council <br />member and these other positions or capacities in which you have served? <br />There is a substantive difference between advocacy and the role of Council. For these <br />many years, I have been a frequent advocate for policies and programs and have <br />spoken -- often with great passion -- on many issues before Council and Planning <br />Commission. That's what an advocate does. <br />But, as most good judges were once prosecuting or defense attorneys...I feel well suited <br />to be "elevated" to the dais. I am familiar with the way the City conducts business and <br />committed to ensuring that all opinions and points of view are heard and considered. <br />While I can promise no citizen that their position will prevail (as mine have not many, <br />many times in the past), I can promise that each citizen will be heard, their views well <br />considered and that they will always be treated with courtesy and respect. <br />8 <br />
