Dear Residents,
This January, there will be a new Mayor and the return of four incumbent Councilmembers in University Heights. The difference in the election was 54 votes. You may not be aware, but the biggest difference in voter turnout from past elections (and the main reason why we will have a new Mayor) was the response by the Jewish Community. While many may not understand why it matters who the Mayor is in our City, we can assure you that having a Mayor who is responsive to our community’s needs and willing to engage us as a distinct population is incredibly important.
The fact that our community was the difference in this election will help us tremendously in the coming four years. In a city this small (again 54 votes is a very thin margin) every vote counts. This teaches us that together – and as individuals – we can make meaningful and impactful change. We thank you for your efforts and your willingness to take the time necessary to send a message to City Hall that our Community is willing to help shape the future for University Heights. Your City Council will now operate like a truly collaborative administrative body and be in a much better position to respond to everyone’s needs.
Yasher koach! Thank you!
Councilmembers Mark Wiseman and Michele Weiss
