4th Ward progressive leaders and organizers are lining up to endorse

Councilmember Marcia Higgins!  Higgins' impressive list of endorsements is no surprise considering her unmatched record of leadership for 4th Ward neighborhoods.

ENDORSEMENTS

"Marcia Higgins is a long-time friend and colleague.  She has worked hard and produced results for the citizens of the 4th Ward, without publicity and fanfare.  Marcia has earned my endorsement for her re-election, and I urge you to vote for her on November 3."


-County Commissioner Leah Gunn,

4th Ward Resident

"Marcia is one of the hardest-working people serving on City Council.  She has the deepest understanding of the City's budget, which is at a critical juncture right now.  She has been a leader in moving forward the City's rezoning efforts and in pushing to bring consistency to the City Code.  For over ten years, Marcia has gone to bat for neighborhoods wherever she is asked.  Her experience and her responsiveness make her an invaluable representative of the 4th Ward on Ann Arbor City Council and a very valuable colleague for the rest of us on Council.  Please vote to re-elect Marcia Higgins!"


-Councilmember Margie Teall

4th Ward Resident

"Marcia Higgins is a great asset to the citizens of the Fourth Ward and the City of Ann Arbor.  Her ability to dig deep into the issues to make the right decision has been of great value to our Ward.  I strongly support our hard working Councilwoman and endorse Marcia Higgins for re-election this November 3."

"When people on our street became concerned about the proliferation of single-family houses being turned into rentals, housing many unrelated adults and often turning the backyards into parking lots, Marcia helped us rezone the neighborhood to stop this practice and preserve the character of Lower Burns Park.  I urge 4th Ward residents to join me in re-electing Marcia." 


-Nancy Leff, Organizer,

Lower Burns Park

Neighborhood Association

"Marcia Higgins is a hard worker and completely dedicated to the residents of the 4th ward.  She spends her time working on real issues that matter to our lives.  I strongly support Marcia's re-election and encourage everyone to vote for Marcia Higgins on November 3."

"When our street was repaved following the replacement of a water main, my neighbors and I were concerned that we would lose our speed bumps and the safety they provide to our children. Marcia Higgins' experience and ability to work constructively with City staff resulted in our speed bumps being restored to their original size. The fourth ward needs Marcia Higgins!"


-John Fingerle,

Ann Arbor resident

and business owner

"Marcia is a proven leader on City Council.  She is the driving force for citizen participation in the City's re-zoning initiatives, which will shape our community for decades to come.  As we tackle the challenges facing our community, her steadfast commitment to ensuring that all voices are heard makes her a valued representative for the 4th ward."


-Mayor John Hieftje
