How will Kate consult the community and make decisions?

Answer

Kate is committed to ongoing community engagement through multiple channels, including:

  • Hosting regular town halls and forums to hear directly from residents.
  • Conducting surveys and online consultations to gather a broad range of perspectives.
  • Meeting with local businesses, community groups, and stakeholders to discuss issues and solutions.
  • Encouraging residents to provide feedback through her campaign and office channels.

Kate's decision-making process will be guided by this continuous engagement, ensuring that policy positions are based on the needs and priorities of the community rather than party politics. She will also seek input from experts, local leaders, and relevant stakeholders to make well-informed decisions that balance local concerns with long-term sustainability and economic viability.
