Our city is filled with incredible people, people who so often don’t get the credit or recognition they deserve. And I want to take a moment to spotlight some of them.

Like every city, recent storms have hit hard, affecting neighborhoods across the board. But what we don’t always see are the men and women who get to work, often overnight, cutting down trees, clearing debris from our roads, and helping restore traffic signals when they go dark.

They work while most of are asleep. So when families wake up to go to work, or take their kids to school, the storm’s damage is already being handled, quietly, steadily, and effectively.

That’s what community service looks like. I am a firm believer that our city should exist as a service organization. These folks are a shining example of that.

Emerging technology can help officers do their jobs more effectively, but public safety is not served by tools that begin to erode public trust.

I still believe the public safety community should continue to evaluate emerging technology so we can protect our communities effectively.

However, that evaluation must be ongoing, not static, and it must not come at the expense of the trust of the community it is intended to protect.

It is in that spirit that I have requested that, in addition to canceling our contract, the physical Flock equipment be removed as quickly as possible.

To those who will be having their very first day of school, and to those who will be having their last

To the parents who have been there through it all, whether you’re starting a new chapter or closing the book on one.

To the teachers, the ones who don’t nearly get the credit they deserve. And to the ones who make every classroom feel safe, inviting, and a place to shape and transform every kid who enters their classroom.

Here’s to you, and here’s to another school year!

Several years ago, I told myself that no matter what challenges we face, on the hardest of days and on the best ones, if I kept showing up for you, if I kept showing up for your family, and if I kept showing up for our neighborhoods, then when the time came, you would show up for me.

And you did. Overwhelmingly.

Thousands of you turned out and cast your votes, not just for me, but for what we all believe we can accomplish together. I will have more to say later, but for now, from the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you.

It’s almost time.

Growing up in this city has allowed me to see its share of ups and downs, but it has also shown me that progress doesn’t happen because someone promises it. Progress happens because ordinary people, neighbors like you, decide to show up.

That’s what you’ve done. That’s what we’ve done together.

Now I’m asking you to do it again.

Tomorrow, when it’s time to vote, I ask you to be there. I ask you to make the choice that moves our city forward. To not wait for someone else to carry the responsibility. To not assume your voice won’t matter, because it does.

One vote may not feel like much, but each vote and the trust that comes with it, means something to me. Your vote was how I got the chance to start the work we’ve done over these past few years. And your vote is how I earn the chance to finish the work we’ve started.

The future of our city, the future we want for our children, doesn’t come from people who sit on the sidelines. It comes from us.

I’m asking you to be determined, not discouraged. To be hopeful, not helpless. To believe in what we can build, because we’ve already started building it.

Four years ago, you took a chance on me.

And tomorrow, I’m asking you to vote not just for me, but for what I know we can do together.

Vote for your neighborhood.

Vote for your kids.

Vote for your family.

Vote for the future you want to live in.

And let’s go out and make a statement.

Tonight, I was supposed to come on here with an update on a situation that has impacted so many of you and your families this week. Unfortunately, the water service provider was unable to provide the information I needed to share with you, and because of that, I can't give you the answers you deserve tonight.

I had hoped to come to you as your councilman with information that would bring some clarity and help ease the anxiety so many of you are feeling. But now, tonight, I want to come to you simply as your neighbor.

Like many of you, I wear many hats. Serving as your councilman is one of the greatest privileges of my life. But above every title I hold are the roles of husband and dad.

When I hear about families who don't have reliable access to water in their own homes, when I hear the worry in the voices of parents concerned about the health and well-being of their kids, when I see the uncertainty of not knowing when this was going to be resolved or what lasting impact it may have, I don't experience that only as the person elected to represent you.

I experience it as a father who would do anything to keep his daughter safe.

I experience it as someone whose own family and friends live in the communities affected by this.

I feel that frustration and concern on a personal level, and that feeling is matched only by a strong determination to keep pushing, to keep asking the hard questions, and to make sure this is made right.

So while I cannot give you the update you deserve tonight, I do want to share something I do know.

This week reminded me, once again, of what makes our city so special.

I saw city employees leave their families at home to come in after hours, without hesitation, to make sure our neighbors had safe drinking water.

I saw neighbors offer extra cases of water sitting in their garages and in their kitchens, not because they had to, but because they saw their neighbors in need and didn't hesitate to step up to help.

I received messages from people in other neighborhoods who weren't affected themselves but simply wanted to know how they could lend a hand.

Tonight, I come to you as your neighbor, filled with pride and gratitude for how our community showed up for each other this week.

And tomorrow, I will get back to work as your councilman, pressing for answers and accountability for what you and your family had to go through.

I wanted to pause for a moment to say how incredibly thankful I am and how blessed I feel to have the support I do.

From my brother and sister firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, who continue to show up for me and support me from day one.

To my family and friends, and especially my wife, if it were not for their support and understanding, I wouldn’t be able to spend time away from home to serve this great city of ours.

And to my neighbors, whether you were Team Haney from the beginning or have newly joined, your support means more than I can possibly express.

This campaign and the work we are doing aren’t about a single person; it’s about the vision we collectively share, one that doesn’t retreat from a challenge but rises to the moment. Our best days are ahead of us, and I know together we can get there. Thank you so much for your continued support 🇺🇸
