Helen Grant announces candidacy for Ward 4 council seat

Recently, I have worked with community organizers and the city on an ordinance that allows no barrier, 24/7 community fridges to be placed back into the public sphere. I also put work into Norman CREW (Compassionate Response Emergency Workers), Norman’s would-be, first-ever unarmed mental health crisis response, wherein unarmed mental health professionals are the first responders.

There is a great need for transparency, public accountability and compassion. And I know those guiding principles will also serve to inform decision making around sustainable land development practices and zoning, water reclamation, metering and building infrastructure to better meet current demands and set us up for success moving into the future, and how to fund that and more in the city budget in a transparent and equitable way.
