Questions - 2

Another question.

Q) How would you work with Cudell Improvement, Inc. What are your thoughts about the organization?

A.) This is a no-brainer. I would work as closely with Cudell Improvement as the organization desired, which I hope to find is extensively. While I believe I have good ideas for the community, I am also realistic and understand good ideas spring from everybody, and that good input and good advice is necessary to ensure any action taken on behalf of the neighborhood is carried out wisely. As such, I would work with Cudell to solicit input and ideas from and for the community, and also look to Cudell for advice and input on potential development projects for the Ward.

In addition, it is my understanding that Cudell works closely with community block clubs. One of the most important things I would like to do as councilman is ensure that all of our block clubs are fully functioning with healthy attendance and plenty of support. As such, I anticipate working closely with Cudell to rally the community to get involved and stay involved in their block clubs.

In short, I think Cudell is an essential part of the community and I hope to develop a strong partnership with it for the benefit of the Ward.

For the sake of those not covered by Cudell, I will not forget about you. Although Cudell Improvement covers a substantial part of the Ward, the new Ward 16 boundary will also include portions of the Stockyards and WireNet CDC’s. Needless to say, I plan to work with these CDC’s as well to the extent of their interest in the Ward.

    Hi Chris,

    I applaud your effort to run for office, as I know it takes a lot of courage to do so. Can you please clearly identify your political party affiliation? I am a resident of Ward 16 and this is an important factor for me, as I feel it is an indicator of a broader mindset that can manifest in long-term decision making. Thank you.

    Hey, my first commentor. Welcome and thank you for your interest.
    I believe the most important thing as a city councilman is to represent the residents of the ward. I feel the best way to do that is to ensure I do not have to follow any party line that would put me at odds with residents in the ward. As such, I am running as an independent. If there are any specific issues you have, please feel free to give me a call and we can discuss. 216-989-2382

    Thanks
    Chris
