Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reaching out. I will not be participating in the candidates forum and while I’m aware that my name is still on the ballot, my statement clearly states that I am not longer pursuing candidacy for City Council. Please refer to my statement at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Sara
