This board plays a key role in the city’s financial oversight. It manages debt, sets the maximum property tax levy, and approves bonding and other fiscal matters. The Board ensures transparency and accountability in how public funds are raised and spent.
Dear neighbors,
What began as a community call has grown into an incredible honor — I am humbled and grateful to be on your ballot as a candidate for Park Board Commissioner here in District 5.
As an organizer, I have always believed in our collective power to make a difference in local elections. In a time marked by uncertainty and challenges, I want to encourage everyone to show up to the polls and make our voices heard.
We all deserve representatives who will stand with workers, youth, and our environment. I hope to earn your vote on November 4th.
In solidarity,
Kay Carvajal Moran
