ENGAGED
Chris Leh
Candidate for Mayor of Louisville
Civic engagement is a core value of mine. I first learned it in Sterling, Colorado -- from my Dad. He was a lawyer, elected official, and later, a Colorado state court trial judge. He learned it from his father, a local prosecutor, and his mother, the first female Logan County Clerk & Recorder. For me, civic engagement ,means:
-
Building Respectful Relationships - I collaborate with residents, businesses, other Councilmembers, Staff, other government officials
-
Being Accessible - I will am available electronically or in person to listen to and understand your concerns and suggestions
-
Focusing Knowledge, Experience, Energy, Imagination, and Common Sense - I apply my skill set as well as I can to the issue at hand
-
Being Proactive -I've done my level-best to anticipate potential issues and bring them forward before they become crises
-
Forging a Stronger, More Welcoming Community - I name the "elephant in the room," try to find common ground and avoid owing division
