Graham is Impressive

Since arriving in town last July, I’ve attended most City Council meetings and many citizen advisory commissions, including the Climate Policy Commission, chaired by Tonya Graham.

Councilor Graham always came prepared, asked perceptive questions, and listened carefully. She was consistently thoughtful in her considerations on complex and controversial issues and always receptive to new information.

I can’t think of any elected official who I agree with 100% of the time, so I want to see that they do their homework and share their thinking. Tonya does that, including in detailed blogs on her website.

Recently, I joined Tonya’s “Conversations in the Park” at Briscoe and was impressed by her openness, kindness to my neighbors, and ability to address questions on a wide range of topics. Check her website, www.TonyaForAshland.com, for when she will be in a park near you. Join your neighbors and attend; it’s worth it!
