Supporting Tonya Graham for mayor

Our community has an opportunity to elect a new mayor.

I am looking for a person with experience, integrity, leadership and track record showing she is responsible, accountable and committed to follow through on critical issues facing our community. I am delighted Tonya Graham is stepping forward.

The realities of climate change and justice are top priorities. Tonya offers more than ideas. As director of the GEOS Institute (a science-based organization addressing climate change solutions) and mother of Haitian kids, she has been walking her talk for years.

Our community has started to wake up to these critical issues that have been rumbling for too long. Creating drama does not make change. Assessing problems, understanding issues and creating solutions is what we need.

I believe Tonya has the tenacity and fortitude to see our numerous challenges through. Thank you, Tonya, for giving us a worthy choice for Ashland’s next mayor.
