Black Diamond is a beautiful city; one we chose for our family. In Black Diamond, I saw what it is and could continue to be: diverse, friendly, forward thinking; a city for families to thrive. A city that celebrated community, on the neighborhood level – yards for playing, porches for sitting.

Our city has tremendous opportunity before it. Not a cross-roads, where our only options are to go right or left – we have opportunity to cultivate and to nourish. Our parks must be maintained, sidewalks made safe for kids, and codes that must balance aspiration and practicality.

For Black Diamond to continue to be a place for families to thrive it needs individuals in leadership positions who can hear folks out, and give them time and space to voice concerns and raise issues. But leaders cannot stop there.  Leaders must be able to call to action, and call for action. I believe with your help and with your vote, I can be that for Black Diamond.
