Someone is throwing their hat in the ring for 1st District of the Pueblo City Council.
This monday, 2 May 2005, Steve Nawrocki is intending to announce his candidacy for the position on the City Council that is currently held by Robert Schilling.
Here is the text of the press release that was passed to us.
Press Release
April 29, 2005You are invited to attend a Press Conference on Monday, May 2, 2005 at 12:15pm in the Pueblo City Hall Council Chambers.
Steve Nawrocki will be announcing his candidacy for Pueblo City Council, District One. Steve has been a resident of Pueblo County for over 25 years; he received his undergraduate degree from Southern Colorado State College (CSU-Pueblo) and his Masters degree from the University of Oklahoma.
Steve chose to raise his family in Pueblo. His daughter, Louisa Nawrocki Rodriguez graduated from Centennial High School in 1989 where she was an active student and athlete.
For the past 17 years, Steve has been the Executive Director of the Senior Resource Development Agency (SRDA). He was Chair of the 2010 Commission in both 2001 and 2002. Through the years he has had the experience of serving on committees and boards at both state and local levels. Steve continues his support of both the Latino and Greater Pueblo Chambers in their efforts to assist local business. In more recent years, he has been active in promoting ballot issues for building new police and fire stations and the ½ cent sales tax for primary jobs.
Today, we face ongoing critical issues that affect our quality of life within Pueblo.
Our quality of life must be preserved. As a candidate for City Council, District One, Steve will focus on the following issues on behalf of his constituents of the West and North Sides of Pueblo:We must preserve the water in our basin for Pueblo and its neighbors.
We must grow our employment opportunities for our citizens, the goal being decent paying jobs with benefits.
We must support children, families, senior citizens and the disabled through support for our non-profits.
We must sustain and enhance our city services, (i.e. police, fire, parks and public works).
We must maintain the ½ cent sales tax for new job development
We must support local business—“Shop Pueblo”.
We must support local developers and contractors—we need to grow to survive.
We must support our diverse neighborhoods and respond to their particular needs.Our community must come together to preserve our quality of life and speak with one voice on water, jobs and services for our citizens. VOTE FOR STEVE NAWROCKI, CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT ONE. A Leader…for a change.
Steve lives in the OHNO area. He ‘comments’ on how my security light ‘distracts’ him as he walks his dog. [Note: I had the same sort of ‘distractions’ while doing my morning constitutionals jogging through Cherry Hills Village up in Denver.] I’m working on a way to make mine a bit less of a distraction for passers by. It really should only come on when they venture closer than the sidewalk.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this. I’m sure we’ll have lots of questions to ask of Steve over the next few months. Hopefully, we can get him to answer them for us here.
