Vote Ali
I am running for re-election because I continue to believe that an independent voice on council is vital for our community’s interests and goals.

Dear Friends,
When I was first elected in 2018, I promised to serve with integrity and a desire to compromise and find solutions to address our city’s most difficult issues. My common-sense approach on council has been to be a critical thinker in deliberations and to represent all members of our broad community who were missing from council discussions. At every council meeting, these are the principles that have guided my votes.
Open discussion and debate are the bedrock for government to be transparent and one that represents everyone. Good governance demands asking uncomfortable questions, paying close attention to details, and not succumbing to mob mentality.
These are the tenets that drive my decisions, and, if re-elected to a second term, will continue to give me purpose as I represent the Fifth Ward with honesty, openness, and accountability.
I will need your support – monetary donations are always appreciated, but there are other ways to help. Volunteer to walk with me as I knock doors and talk with residents, host a yard sign at your home, or arrange a meet and greet with neighbors. Most importantly, share with your 5th ward friends and neighbors why your support me for Ann Arbor City Council.

Development
On council, my decision process for development is guided on advancing and protecting our public interests and following our Comprehensive Land Use Plan. There is a false pretext that we need to bend the rules to attract developers to build in Ann Arbor. I believe through our tax base, people, and cultural institutions we have fostered a highly desirable place to live, work, visit and invest.
