Dear Friends,

I've enjoyed serving on the Omaha City Council and am proud of our many accomplishments together.

I've prioritized public safety, deterred property crime and have supported initiatives that address poverty and unemployment.

I cut property taxes, voted against the restaurant tax and pushed for major pension reform.  I renovated the Benson, Dundee and Florence Business Districts and have been a leader in the city's diversity and inclusion efforts. 

I hope you will remain active in our efforts to keep our city moving forward.

 

Pete Festersen
