I really appreciate this response, Talauna. I also appreciate that you bring your work and lived experience to the table.

I am disappointed to see commenters (Anna Dosser) bringing up Talauna Reed having a criminal record as an issue. Really? Do we actually live in a place where we would minimize someone’s ability to do a job to based on probably one or the hardest periods of time in their life? The city does not limit people running for office if they have a record so why are you so bent outa shape? I want a person with lived experience of homelessness on the council, I want a renter on the council, I want someone with Talauna’s knowledge of community on the council. I want more than one person of color on the council. I think Talauna is more than up for the job.
