I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COMMITTED TO CULTURAL EVENTS AND THE ARTS FOR THEY SERVE TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL. SPRINGSTEP WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REALIZED IF I HAD NOT DEVELOPED AN INNOVATIVE MEASURE TO ACCOMMODATE PARKING FOR THEIR ORGANIZATION. I HAVE LED THE EFFORT TO SECURE $700,000 TO CREATE A CULTURAL CENTER AT THE SITE OF THE MONSIGNOR CONDON SHELL. I HAVE RAISED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CELEBRATE THE DIVERSITY AND MULTI-CULTURALISM OF MEDFORD. IT WAS MY LEADERSHIP THAT TRIED TO DEVELOP AN ART CENTER AT THE SWAN AND KENNEDY SCHOOLS. I HAVE WORKED TO CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITES AT THE KENNEDY-LINCOLN COMPLEX. I LOOK FORWARD TO DO MORE AND WELCOME ALL WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE GOAL OF CREATING AN ARTIST COMMUNITY. IT IS ESSENTIAL PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF OUR CITY. I ALSO WELCOME ANY IDEAS AND RESOURCES THAT ANYONE CAN BRING TO THE TABLE.
