It is no secret that the final day of a major political election brings out most voters. Today, I hope everyone who didn’t vote early, does their part in choosing who is right to assist with positive progress.
Living in El Paso as a military spouse, mother, businesswoman, community activist, and advocate for almost 30 years, I have gained clarity and understanding concerning what it takes and who it takes to lead our community forward. Understanding the intersection of resilience, dedication, and vision, this current season of change is reflective of my beliefs and where I believe that we, as a community, go from here.
Our city is not without complex issues, and because of that, it takes people who are compassionate, non-combative leaders, to help us attain a greater level of being seen as a city that invites new innovations for job creation, improved safety, and better quality of life, among other things.
Heightening my commitment to the well-being of El Paso, I have chosen roles that shape my perspective and have accompanied my heart and mind since a young age, and my heart is for El Paso. Renard Johnson embodies these qualities that our city needs now more than ever. He genuinely understands the challenges and aspirations that define El Paso and is a proven leader in business who exudes compassion when it comes to having a heart for the community.
Renard is the only candidate for mayor who stepped forward to ensure our military families, especially military spouses, are included in the progress of our city and is positioned to drive the growth we need to be an inviting city to new and expanding industries.
I’m not only convinced but assured that Renard is a leaders leader who is caring enough to understand that we, the people, are a part of the necessary group that should be included in leading our city.
