In a new op-ed, Ward 5 candidate Mike Parent shares some of the perspective he says he’s gained while knocking on doors
I won’t take on a job or position unless I’m confident that I can do it well. I believe this approach has largely contributed to the many successes in my personal and my professional lives.
Because I strive to be an informed and effective representative, I joined the Chamber of Commerce’s Municipal Advocacy Committee and the Valley East Community Action Network. After officially registering as a candidate, I began meeting with business owners and members of the public through social media platforms, email, phone calls, at coffee shops and knocking on doors.
Some folks I met have lived in their homes since childhood, passing it from generation to generation. Others are new to our community and I had a chance to welcome them. I heard common themes of concerns about affordability and cost of living. There’s a longing for more transparency and a more collaborative approach from our municipal government.
