Letter: Youssef is poised under pressure, offers solutions

Melissa Youssef has the experience we need for City Council in these troubling times.

With passion, Melissa has taken on many challenges and has led our community to a promising future. She is resilient and poised under pressure, capable of making tough decisions to many of Durango’s most serious problems.

From the beginning of her tenure in City Council, Melissa has set in motion solutions to critical issues; affordable housing, homelessness and small business financial assistance, all while holding city government accountable and being bipartisan during times of controversy.

Durango, like every community in the nation, is faced with enormous challenges. We have endured the hardships of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the economic, social and emotional problems that are associated with this disease. Fortunately, we have a community leader who has persevered and has worked tirelessly to help us overcome these hardships.

With strong leadership in local government, Durango will emerge from these troubling times to a brighter future. The promise of that future will be a reality when we reelect Melissa Youssef to City Council.
