'We, Not Me'

August 23, 2009: The Birmingham News recommends 

Valerie Abbott for Birmingham City Council District 3

 

Welcome to the VoteValerie website. Thanks for taking the time to visit our site - 

I hope that you find it informative and easy to navigate. I have attempted to address many of the pressing issues that face our city, but if you have questions about my position on a specific issue, please send an email to votevalerie@bellsouth.net and I will respond.

After serving nearly eight  years on the City Council, I remain firmly committed to quality of life issues for our residents, including everyone’s right to a clean, safe neighborhood with amenities such as well-maintained parks, streets, and sidewalks.  I am committed to serving you with honesty and integrity, and complete dedication to the job.  I believe that the following four actions are critical to our city’s continued success:

 

  • Fiscal responsibility
  • Transparency in government
  • Cooperation amongst the 36 municipalities in Jefferson County and the surrounding counties.
  • Discussion of differences without dissention

We all want efficient city services, low crime, safe, modern schools where our children receive world-class instruction, clean neighborhoods, and economic development projects that provide convenient shopping and better jobs for all of us, but particularly for the 42% of Birmingham households that make less than $25,000 annually. 

We must work together to make these dreams a reality. I am committed to addressing the many issues facing our city for ALL residents and I hope that you will read the Issues section of this website to learn more about my vision for a better Birmingham

Thank you!
