Arizona Daily Star Letters To The Editor July 19th

Re-Elect Kevin Dahl

As a longtime resident of Tucson and Ward 3, I have watched Council Member Kevin Dahl lead with purpose and heart. He transformed his office into a cooling center with cots — not for political optics, but because he genuinely cares. He was the lone vote against criminalizing those sleeping in washes, reminding us that compassion belongs in City Hall.

He has pushed vital climate reforms like clean water access, and rainwater harvesting — forward-thinking actions in a region facing existential environmental challenges. He has also fought for housing, turning motels into shelters and opening an Amphi site for those in need. His support for police bike patrols and park renamings shows his commitment to both safety and honoring Tucson’s diverse legacy.

Also, he keeps his constituents informed with his weekly emails, something I have never seen before in Ward 3.

Kevin Dahl has earned my trust — and my vote.
