“As a member of your City Council, I am proud and honored to be able to serve you as we work together to advance our shared mission – to create the very best community in which to live, work and raise our children. I will strive to ensure that the shared-governance principles that built Dublin: planning for the long-term, building a robust economic base, valuing our heritage, trying new things, fostering broad community engagement, and caring for each other continue to guide us on the exciting road ahead.” - Cathy De Rosa
