Let me tell a quick story with this one: I remember something that my mother did, and she was not an outgoing person. She was more of an introvert, but she had a problem where she’d purchased a desk chair and it needed to be repaired. So she sent it back. And back then you didn’t have Amazon, so you put the chair in the car to take it to a shop to get it fixed.
And she never got the chair back, or she didn’t get the chair back in a timely fashion. And she went to inquire about it and found out that that business had gone bankrupt. And they shut the doors. So she fought and she fought for the stupid desk chair. It was a nice chair. It was leather, but it was just a chair. Regardless, my mother fought tooth and nail and finally got the chair back.
Aas a little kid. Maybe eight or nine. I watched her fight and get what she wanted. And I do that now. As a cop, you have to fight to get where you want. It’s not easy.
Not a single day is easy. The days can be fun, but they’re not always easy. But you have to fight to get where you want to be. That’s where I’m going with all of this. You know, in city government, I’m fighting for the people, I listen to people, I listen to the residents. And when there’s a need, I’ll fight. We change laws. We have state laws, laws that affect our residents very well or badly and we fight.
I don’t give up. So that’s another way my family has supported me to get where I am today.
you know, never surrender, never give up. You just can’t.
