Other
"I enjoy walking through town and grabbing a coffee leading to chatting with local community members. This is why I love living here. The small-town feel is the reason why I want to help make this community thrive. This means connecting with farmers, small businesses, families and growing our town with common sense to keep that Arlington charm."
