Paula Merrington, Geneva, 4th ward, vote, candidate, alderman

PAULA MERRINGTON

a lifelong champion of diversity, progress & service to underserved communities

In the 5 years my family has lived in Geneva, I have a proven track record of active community and civic involvement. I have, for many years, effectively participated or run boards and organizations whose primary goal was to improve the quality of life in the community. I have loved reaching out to ward residences and will make it a priority to continuing improving outreach and communication. I am passionate, informed and willing to work hard for the community.

I would bring a unique global perspective to the council, as an immigrant who has lived in the US for 25 years. As a Registered Nurse and Midwife who worked for many years in the Pediatric ICU and on medical transport teams, I worked very well under pressure, as a part of the team or as leadership. I am pragmatic and willing to work very hard to ensure that I well-represent Ward 4 resident and businesses.

Please vote for me on April 2th, 2019.

Jeanne McGowan, 4th Ward Alderman

"I ask the people of Geneva to vote for City Council candidates who will stay the proven course and steady progress that has been so successful for us. May I recommend Craig Maladra, Paula Merrington and Michael Clements for City Council? They will improve Geneva's governance rather than tear it down."
