Any town or city can be good, but what makes it stand apart are the people who live and invest in this community and I am happy to raise my children here. Despite some of the difficulties and tragedies our community has overcome more recently, we continue to come back even stronger. This is still a wonderful place to live and raise our families. I will strive to showcase this city for all the treasures we have to offer. Thank you to all for supporting this beautiful city and I look forward to working for you," stated Jessica
