Nunez explained why she is running. “I am running for 4th Ward Council because our residents deserve a strong voice and effective representation. For too long, residents have felt unheard while concerns about safer streets, clean neighborhoods, well-maintained parks, and reliable infrastructure have gone unaddressed.”

She plans to hold regular resident meetings, both in person and virtually. She also plans to create a 4th Ward Facebook page to share information and hear directly from residents.

On development and quality of life, Nunez said, “I will advocate for improvements to our sewer infrastructure, oppose overdevelopment, and work to improve our quality of life by keeping our parks clean, our neighborhoods well maintained, and our streetlights working.”
