Early voting started on Friday, March 12, at the Rock Island County Clerk's office and Sangeetha, Matt, James, and Alvaro invited the public to learn about the process and about their candidacies.  We had a great turnout!  Moline residents are ready for a change of leadership!

On Sunday, March 7, Sangeetha Rayapati, James Patrick Schmidt, and Matt Timion greeted supporters at a drive-by supply drive to benefit our community partner, World Relief.  Diapers and hygeine products were in plentiful supply by the end!

On Sunday, Jan. 31, Sangeetha and candidates for city council, Matt Timion, Alvaro Macias, and James Patrick Schmidt, joined a successful fundraiser with supporters who want to see change in Moline government.  Attendees brought food donations for Riverbend Food Bank, an amazing community partner.  It was wonderful to give back to an organization that gives so much!

Join Sangeetha online for the fourth of her Community Conversations.  If you're a small business owner in Moline or work in one, or you simply care about our small business climate, take an hour to share your perspectives with Sangeetha.  She's eager to hear from a variety of viewpoints in this important part of our local economy.

Our faith communities in Moline are partners in serving citizens.  If you are or know a faith leader, please join me or share this event and help me understand what your congregations are doing and what you see still needs to be done to meet needs in our city.  Bring a camp chair, your morning coffee, and whatever comfy thing you need to stay warm.  I'll have hand warmers with me to keep us comfortable.

On Sunday, October 4, Sangeetha met with supporters at Riverside Park Cemetery to help clean up the grass around headstones and get caught up on maintenance.  Severe seasonal personnel shortages and the derecho clean up had backed up work.  Many Moliners help keep our parks beautiful.  Let's plan for leadership change that values this work and budgets appropriately.  

On Monday, September 14, Sangeetha Rayapati met with supporters at Stephen's Park to share her plans to run for Mayor of Moline.  Click the photo to view the speech!
