Lansing City Council At-Large candidate Tirstan Walters. New Leadership Delivering Results for Our Community
Serving as an At-Large member of your Park Board and as a First Ward Representative and Vice-Chair of your Neighborhood Advisory Board, it has been an honor to bridge the gap between these departments and the residents that they serve. I am now looking forward to broadening my advocacy to city-wide concerns while focusing on the issues that matter most to the residents of Lansing.
