Election 2019: Carmen Eckard for Hickory (NC) Alderman
I will listen to you, the citizens of Hickory. I've been listening for a while, and I'm hearing you talk about Inspiring Spaces, Homelessness, infrastructure problems and more. I hear you. I will keep listening.
I believe that government by council means that elected representatives are meant to speak for YOU, the voter. I promise to do this, even when it means asking difficult questions, and even if I don't necessarily agree with you. I will be a voice for you.
n an increasingly bipartisan world, progress is still made the old-fashioned way: by finding common ground and building on it. I will actively seek compromises that work for all citizens.
