Statement Regarding Today’s Incident
As an elected official, the well-being and safety of the residents across our city is an utmost priority for me. No one should experience any level of threatening actions directed towards them. My family, my neighbors, my supporters and my staff should not feel that they are in harm's way. I feel awful and I am deeply sorry that this incident happened.
