You can return your yard signs tonight or keep them and attach the Keep Marquette Open signs. I couldn't have done this without your support and I appreciate your confidence in me. Thank you!!!
I've been involved in the Marquette Neighborhood Association since 1994 and have served as President since 2002. I've worked with a lot of people through the years, a lot of you!, not only in Marquette but in adjacent 6th district neighborhood associations and the East Isthmus Planning Council on interests of shared concern.
Many important challenges face our district: the safety of our drinking water and the health of our water eco-system, the future of MGE and Kipp, the loss of neighborhood police officers, bus service to the east-side, the balance between historic preservation and new construction, creating living wage jobs in our central city neighborhoods and keeping our neighborhoods diverse and affordable. We also have many wonderful new additions on the horizon: the Yahara River Parkway, the new home of the Atwood Community Center, and Central Park.
"As MNA President, Marsha has been a problem-solver, a facilitator, advocate, and a leader - all roles an alder must perform. She's knows the issues and understands the process for getting things done. Marsha is very well prepared to be District Six Alder. "
- Judy Olson, Retiring Alder District 6
We've discussed the reconstruction and redevelopment of E Washington Avenue, traffic planning, historic districts and the future of the house, green building and urban design, the community benefits of TIF districts, and the link between affordable housing for families and student enrollment in east-side schools. We know the importance of working through neighborhoods to have a voice at the table, making sure people have the information they need to effectively participate as residents and citizens.
I have a passion for making the city and the district a place for all residents. The opportunity to work on these issues and continue the proud tradition of progressive values in the 6th district motivate me to run.
Feel free to contact me directly at 255-2728 (marsha@marsharummel.com) or if you would like to get involved in my campaign contact Juscha Robinson at 239-4296 (info@marsharummel.com).
Thank you for all your past, present and future support. This neighborhood helped make the person I am today, and so have all of you. You're an important part of the reason why I've been able to be the leader I have been in our District, and why I want to be your next Alder.
