Smile at a stranger passing by, pick up trash on the sidewalk, attend a city council meeting. The smallest deed can make a huge difference.

Dr. King said: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
We should heed these words during these uncertain and turbulent times.

A reminder that my office will be closed on Monday January 19.

MLK Day is more than just a day off from work or school – it’s a day to honor his legacy & dream for a better world.

With the political conflict throughout the country we must continue Dr. King’s legacy of non-violent revolution.
