Maya's Happy to visiT, Educate, share & Answer Q's!
🔥Tip: Most people are completely unaware that this will be on their ballot! 🗳️
We have so much educating to do in order to help folks understand how we elect this body of review commissioners, and what this one-year commission will do!
And, it's not just new voting residents who need a refresher! Nearly every long-time resident we've spoken with is pretty darn fuzzy on what this Review Commission is, how our charter review works, and all the details! It's been ten years since the last one, so that's not surprising!
Folks should note that there are 8 Charter Review candidates for District 2 and we will NOT have party affiliations next to our names on voters' ballots.
Maya would be delighted to come and give a presentation, swing by a house party, gallery opening, union meeting, concert, drag show or other community event to quickly give folks a rundown of what this commission is and does, answer questions, and collaborate!
