McCurdy said, “As an experienced policymaker, I’m ready to represent this district on Day 1. This is a critical time for our District, and we need to ensure we have leadership at the helm addressing the needs – like affordable housing and homeless are prioritized while ensuring the big investments in District 5 bring jobs and opportunities to all residents. Let’s get the job done!”
