Dear Friends,
I've enjoyed representing the citizens of District 1 on the Omaha City Council and am proud of our many accomplishments together. I am also proud to have served as City Council President and that I've kept my focus on the priorities we identified when first elected.
I introduced and fought for measures that added more police on our streets, upgraded all front line police cruisers, and deterred property crime. I cut property taxes, voted against the restaurant tax, and pushed for major pension reform. And I renovated the Benson, Dundee and Florence Business Districts among our many other projects throughout the district.
I could not have achieved these milestones without your support and without the support of many business, philanthropic, and neighborhood leaders. It's this shared vision that makes me excited about the future of our city.
I hope you will remain active in our campaign for re-election so we can continue to keep our neighborhoods safe and strong.
Pete Festersen
