Keeping It Simple

When canvassing the neighborhood, I meet with neighbors and spend time talking with them. As we start talking about the campaign, the question always comes up: what are you going to do for the neighborhood?

My answer is basic: keep it simple.

But, what does that mean? I do not endeavor to have much flash. My hope is to take care of the simple things: getting sidewalks relaid, getting streetlights replaced, cleaning up the parking situation, bringing in some speed bumps and etc.

As your ANC Commissioner, my purpose would be to ensure that these little things are done. Just imagine how much safer our neighborhood would be if streetlights are replaced and our blocks have no dark spots! Just imagine much safer our neighborhood would be if everyone were able to park on his/her block - or at least near that block! With the growing amount of young families in our neighborhood, just imagine how much safer the neighborhood would be for our children if speed bumps were in place!

We can make this neighborhood better, if we just keep it simple.

Let's be the CHANGE we want to see!

On November 4, vote Jabriel S. Ballentine for ANC 6A02!
