FAREWELL FROM VICE MAYOR ASHBY
What an honor it has been to be your Councilwoman for the past 12 years. I am grateful beyond measure for your endless support and encouragement.
I leave this position to become your next State Senator knowing full well that I will miss so much about serving at the City level, though I am looking forward to working with the new members, as well as other regional leaders to continue investing in our collective future.
I’m proud of what we have accomplished together over the past decade. We built a community, complete with new parks, the aquatics facility, large employers, small businesses, new schools, fire stations, bikeways, homes, the city’s largest youth program and regionally recognized events like our award winning farmers market.
None of that would have been possible without the amazing folks who have helped serve this district over the years. So many amazing talented people have spent time serving our community and it has made all the difference in the world.
Im grateful to each of them and to all of you for helping me make Natomas a wonderful place to live, learn, work and play.
Thank you for choosing me to represent you.
As I sign off on this last email please know I do
so with a humble heart full of gratitude and joy.
It has been my absolute honor and privilege to
serve this community and this City.
Thank you,
Angelique

You will all continue to be constituents of Vice Mayor Ashby when she is
in the Senate, so you will continue to receive communications from her,
and her social media presence will transition with her to the State Senate
to continue providing updates, information and opportunities for
engagement as she serves the larger region. Her Senate website, once live,
will be found at https://sd08.senate.ca.gov/.
As always, on behalf of our current District 1 team, and all the previous people
who worked for this amazing community, we join the Vice Mayor in saying thank
you, from the bottom of our hearts. It has been our honor to serve you.
All our best,
Karina, Miesha, Deanna, Andre & Deb
