I had the opportunity to talk with East Lansing Info's Jack Timothy Harrison to discuss my reasons for running for the East Lansing City Council election on November 2, 2021 - Read the article here. As your newly elected East Lansing City Councilmember, my role in government will fall under these criteria: Fiscal responsibility Commitment to positive environmental Initiatives A strong relationship with Michigan State University and our surrounding Municipalities Transparency in the City’s decision-making process that is consistent in practice and promotes accountability I believe these are some of the foundational pieces of our continued growth and stability for the City of East Lansing going forward. I hope to earn your vote for the East Lansing City Council election on November 2, 2021 #EastLansingWhatsNext

Thank you East Lansing Safe Routes to School. I had the excellent opportunity to meet with parents, neighbors, and community members working on significant public safety initiatives for our children, and community who live and works in our city. I was able to be involved in informative discussions about safe traveling in our community, whether bicycling, walking, scooters, or other alternative means of transportation by our citizens. Please know that I am available to discuss, learn and support groups and organizations whose mandate is to invest in our community’s future and well-being that support East Lansing. As your next East Lansing City Councilmember, I will continue making myself available and learning from you to be a representative who is in touch with our community values. #EastLansingWhatsNext #ChuckGrigsbyforEL#SafeRoutesMI #EastLansing #GetOutAndMove #ActiveKids #HappyKids #ShareTheRoad #ELSRTS #PopUpSocial  http://www.saferoutesinfo.org/

I wanted to give you a quick update on the progress I have made on my “Doorstep Near You” campaign so far. So far, I have walked my way through a few of our East Lansing neighborhoods, with many more on my schedule. Common topics that have come up so far in my discussions with you are transparency, budget, public safety, economic development, environment, MSU, and neighborhood retention. In listening to you, I have learned so much and have come away with an even clearer understanding of what is important to many East Lansing residents. I believe that my going out and knocking on your door to meet you personally and hear what is on your mind is worth the effort! Before starting the “Doorstep Near You” campaign, I had a strong sense of what I felt was important for our City going forward. Still, the experiences of talking with you have allowed me to further confirm my passion and reevaluate and further develop my role as your next Council Member in the November 2, 2021 election. Going forward, I will announce what area I will be heading to increase the chances I can actually speak with you and find out what’s on all of your minds and hearts regarding all things East Lansing! #EastLansingWhatsNext #ChuckGrigsbyforEL
