Thanks for your service Patrick Martin, former council member

Patrick Martin, who works on the development team for Second Harvest Heartland, served six years on the Council and chose not to run for another term. Martin noted his favorite part was serving as a bridge between community and local government.

“Along with major policy accomplishments, like the Opportunity Housing Ordinance and Parks Master Plan, I’m very proud to have contributed to a governing culture of respect, open-mindedness, and shared accountability,” Martin said.

Martin plans to continue investing his full time and attention in furthering the work of basic needs organizations like the food bank he works at. “There is a world out there where every family has what they need to thrive,” Martin said. “We just have to build it.”
