“The mayor has no responsibility greater than the safety of residents, especially our youth. That means both physical safety and the resources necessary to grow and thrive — to learn and develop. I’m proud to be part of a nonpartisan group of mayors who are harnessing our collective voices to drive change at state, regional and national levels. I will continue working with our local partners to expand access to programs that offer out-of-school meals and after school programming.”
