“Commissioner Andy LaBarre countered Rabhi’s arguments, saying the deal isn’t perfect, but it provides needed housing. Waiting for perfect would result in nothing, he said. ‘The people in this community that need a place to live cannot live in rhetoric.’” 🔥 #A2Council

Today, 30+ #AnnArbor leaders called on Monroe Public Schools to reinstate Athletic Director Chet Hesson. Dr. Hesson has been on leave for more than three months after expressing empathy and support for a Skyline student who was being targeted with unwarranted hate and intense harassment. #A2Council
✅ #A2Council Approved!
With the passage of this Ordinance to Create Rent Transparency, #A2Council finished the job we started last year when we eliminated predatory pre-tenancy junk fees. This ordinance will prohibit landlords from charging any “mandatory fee.” Those costs should be billed as what they really are: rent.
The extended public comment & review period for the third draft of Ann Arbor’s proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan ends tomorrow (Monday, January 5) at 9 A.M.
To review the plan and submit public comment, please visit a2gov.org/CLUP. #A2Council

I am proud to serve alongside Mayor Taylor and of the long list of progressive accomplishments we have achieved on behalf of residents together. I am excited for what we can continue to do during his next & final term. And I am thrilled to endorse Mayor Christopher Taylor for re-election! #A2Council
As our families & communities struggle with rising costs, and the recklessness and uncertainty coming from Washington, Michigan needs a US Senator who will fight for us. Mallory is the leader I trust to defend our progressive values, deliver for our communities & get results for Michigan families.
We recently hired a new Communications Director for the City. When I have my first opportunity to meet with him, the City’s community engagement strategy — including our social media strategy — is one of the topics I hope to cover. We are well-behind other cities in this space.
Go #Vote, Michigan!

Ann Arbor Police Chief Andre Anderson addresses a crowd.
Thanks to everyone who joined us at tonight’s inaugural “Chat with the Chief” in Ward 3. This new recurring Ann Arbor Police Department series will connect the Chief and other AAPD leaders directly with the community to talk about the public safety issues that matter most to you. #A2Council
Ann Arbor’s transportation survey closes October 31. The City wants to hear how you get around town and what you’d like to see in the future. Don’t miss your chance to provide input! engage.a2gov.org/2025-transpo... #a2council
“Exclusionary practices drive up the cost for everyone and reduce the amount of available land...Taking on our affordable housing crisis requires a comprehensive strategy, and reducing exclusionary zoning and land use restrictions has to be a part of this." - Senator Elizabeth Warren #A2Council
"Restrictive zoning laws -- borne out of racial segregation -- prevent new affordable housing units from being built. Using exclusionary zoning to keep families -- often lower income families and families of color -- out of certain neighborhoods is wrong…” - Senator Elizabeth Warren #A2Council
It is incredibly important that #A2Council adopts a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that addresses exclusionary zoning & embraces housing opportunity.
But don’t just take my word for it. Listen to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (@warren.senate.gov) & Fmr. HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge: youtu.be/41zdcPJcTuM
Chat with the Chief! #A2Council Member Ayesha Ghazi Edwin and I will join AAPD Chief Andre Anderson on Monday, Oct. 27 at 5:30 PM at Monty’s Public House.
Residents need clear & easy-to-access data to track City progress on community priorities, hold government accountable, and understand the challenges we face. And #A2Council needs to be able to track progress on adopted plans & policy goals to make informed budgetary & policy decisions. Now we can!
In 2023, I co-sponsored an #A2Council “Resolution to Improve Data Transparency and Performance Management.”
As a result, the City has unveiled a new centralized website to host all of our Dashboards, Maps & Datasets, and make them fully accessible the public!
Check it out at data.a2gov.org
This week, Ayesha & I showed up to support two amazing & progressive #LGBTQ candidates for #Detroit City Council: Gaby Santiago-Romero is running for re-election & Denzel McCampbell is running to join her.
Please give & help them raise the funds they need to win: secure.actblue.com/donate/a2for...
Ayesha & I will be hosting a “Policy & Pints” Office Hour at Monty’s on Monday from 6-7pm. We will be joined by #AnnArbor’s new Accessibility Coordinator Jenna Truong. We hope to see you there! #A2Council
