Residents who want an advocate instead of an ideologue ought to choose julie kang for position 5
Julie brings practical problem-solving experience
With a proven track record in education, finance, and community work, we need a leader who relies on data, audits, and lived experience to guide decisions, rather than pure ideology. I will commit to:
- Being a consistent advocate so District 5 gets its fair share of basic infrastructure investments, from filling potholes to ensuring reliable utility services.
- Centering voices of residents, workers, and community organizations in decision-making.
