I wanted to close out this newsletter by sharing some news about our district office.
For the last (almost!) three years, we’ve been lucky to have Saul on the team. He joined the office back in July 2023 as our Constituent Services Coordinator, acting as a warm, welcoming face while helping folks navigate state agencies and other resources. Saul then became our Director of Community Engagement, taking the reins on planning community events and centering food security through grocery giveaways and unity meals.
Saul is now working with the Mayor's Office of Community Engagement. We are so grateful for Saul's passion and hard work felt across the district, and we wish him well in his future endeavors!
All my best,
Will
