In response to whatsit2U, the second meeting in the series of three, is actually taking place downtown at the Citizen's Hotel on J Street. Angelique placed all the meetings in the three areas of her district, North Natomas, South Natomas and downtown. I attended the first meeting and there were several people there from downtown who wanted their concerns to be heard - and they were. I know Angelique pretty well, and she will take care of ALL the constituents in her district, not just those in North Natomas. I have already witnessed this. She has been supportive of South Natomas - even before she decided to run for office. I guess, as you say, time will tell and prove you wrong.

I've known Angelique for about 2 years, and I become more and more impressed with her every day. I have watched her at work on community issues and she is impressive. She truly cares and was hard at work trying to improve things long before she made the decision to run - this after much prodding from the community. The pact she has with the Police is to make Natomas and all of District 1 a safe place to live. She has reached out to families in need and asked people to help when someone has undergone some sort of tragedy, e.g., house fire. She is definitely not out for herself unless by improving the safety, education and lifestyles of her community also make her life better. And, she is definitely not sour and dour - I have never not seen her without a smile on her face. I totally agree with Sharward regarding her attributes: energetic, intelligent, articulate, and collaborative - I have seen them at work.
