Editor,
Letter writer Ms. Navarro said some very kind words about my constituent service while I was on the City Council during our 2023 floods. I really appreciate her kind words about me.
Editor,
Letter writer Ms. Navarro said some very kind words about my constituent service while I was on the City Council during our 2023 floods. I really appreciate her kind words about me.
All districts had flooding. We have 100,000 constituents that often need our attention. It just happened that I was by myself when I stopped by Ms. Navarro’s home to see if I could help, but Rob Newsom had been out with me earlier in the day. We had been together responding to citizens.
Rob and I spent all night during two nights of rain driving through the rain checking on neighborhoods in all districts and calling in street flooding, cut-off neighborhoods and blocked culverts to Public Works. Rob was very responsive to all who contacted him and many that did not contact us that we could see were in need.
Rob is on the job and does respond, just call him or email him. Like me, he loves our city and is in service out of choice and responsibility.
