I had the privilege of serving with Melissa Youssef for four years on the Durango 9-R School Board. Melissa took her role as a board member seriously. She was always prepared for meetings and ready to ask hard questions of the staff concerning the education of our children. When making decisions she always focused on the mission of the district and the needs of its students. Melissa has brought the same dedication and commitment to City Council. Given that we have a new city manager, continuity on the City Council will help provide stability during the transition. Melissa has had an active role in the strategic plan that the City Council is working on. We would all benefit if she is re-elected and can spend the next four years making sure the strategic plan yields its intended results. I encourage you to vote for Melissa Youssef for Durango City Council.
