Involvement

In addition to her responsibilities as a mother and in her professional career, Kristin has always felt involvement in the community is fundamental to reaching our full potential as citizens.  This sense of civic involvement has driven Kristin to work towards a stronger, better New Orleans in a number of ways.

As your council woman, Kristin would bring the same commitment to her service for District C as she brings to all of her endeavors.
