Columbus
There is a special type of person who truly exists to serve. One who does not accept something as it is but instead analyzes each component and works to make change and inspire a better world. This is Grace Kestler. She never says no to an opportunity and has been a positive force in every community in which she has lived within the U.S. and also oversees.
I had the opportunity to experience her spark when she moved back to Columbus after living in Germany. We worked together on the Bike and Pedestrian Committee as well as other groups focusing on transportation. Her approach to problem solving is very level-headed as she utilizes her wealth of knowledge and experience to determine the best way to move forward. Her thought process is based in reality, knowing each solution has time, talent and funding limitations. And, her personality and can-do attitude are a welcomed benefit to every conversation.
Grace Kestler is that special type of person truly born to serve, and I feel she is the best candidate for Columbus City Council at-large. She can’t get there without your vote. Please vote.
