Cle Kimble<\/h2>\n
Currently, she holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Respiratory Therapy from Texas Southern University and a Masters Degree in Healthcare Leadership from Western Governors University. She is an active member of Shiloh Baptist Church and Garland Toastmasters #1207. Cle has one son, Dillon.<\/p>\n Her decision to serve her community began with a conversation she had with her father after moving into her home. Her father, a retired Staff Sergeant of the United States Army, suggested getting involved in her community. ” You can only make a difference if you serve your community.” From that point, Cle made it her plan to become a part of this town she now calls home. She served as a board member to Garland’s TIF #3<\/p>\n Medical District and became a member of the Orchard Hills Neighborhood Association. Cle believes that to serve others, you must first listen. Her years of experience caring for the needs of others and listening to their concerns makes her qualified to support the citizens of District 5. Serving others through her commitment to her constituents and being accessible is what she will supply to Garland residents.<\/p>\n Garland has become one of the best cities in DFW area through the hard work of the City Council, the Mayor, City Manager and their staff.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been asked to run for City Council by my neighbors, and I would like to keep Garland on its path to success.\u00a0 It would be an honor to serve on the Garland City Council, and I will focus on:<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Promote affordable family housing<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Support our public safety officials and emergency response<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Environmentally safe cleanup of old sites<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Incentives for businesses to come to Garland<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Draw customers from the across North Texas<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Support for existing businesses<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Make the gateway to Garland appealing<\/p>\n o\u00a0\u00a0 Alleviate the homeless problem along 635<\/p>\n My wife and I moved here in 2016 and have decided Garland is where we\u2019ll stay.\u00a0 We love our neighborhood and our home in District 5, and are both members of the Crime Stoppers Board.\u00a0 I plan on running for President of that board later this year.\u00a0 My wife is a nurse specializing in rehabilitation and I am a research professor.\u00a0 I was born in East Cleveland Ohio, grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and got my bachelors and masters degrees in geology at Arizona State University.\u00a0 I worked at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. for a year before taking a Fulbright Scholarship to Germany where I completed my doctorate.\u00a0 From there I worked in the North Atlantic and Siberian Arctic, before getting a National Science Foundation funded position at the Geological Survey of Japan in Hokkaido, Japan.\u00a0 From there I joined the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in Fairbanks, Alaska, working for the Alaska Volcano Observatory monitoring volcanoes in the field and from satellite remote sensing.\u00a0 I eventually ran that program with a multimillion dollar budget and a dozen students and staff.\u00a0 I was also a faculty member there, and was twice elected Faculty President.\u00a0 We left Alaska for Texas, and I work with SMU, having taught Disaster Management there, and perform private contracts to mitigate the effects of volcanic ash on aviation.\u00a0 I am eager to devote the majority of my time to Garland, helping to get us all through these challenging times.<\/p>\n I am running for City Council, District 5 because I want to ensure we live in a safer, more beautiful community. There are many projects in our future that need careful planning, like the Hyper-mart and former Hollywood Movie Theater lots.\u00a0 I have worked closely with the\u00a0parks department, bond committee, and Councilmember Aubin on the design and renovation of Rick Oden Park, and there is an entire\u00a0second phase that needs completion.\u00a0 I want to see it through.\u00a0 District 5 is in a unique position for future development.\u00a0 We have an\u00a0opportunity to give our district\u00a0a facelift, especially\u00a0along the 635 corridor and Garland Road.\u00a0 Residents need access to better retail, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment. I want to ensure that every last project from the 2019\u00a0bond program is funded and completed.\u00a0 I support Neighborhood Crime Watch groups and expanding the Neighborhood Police Officer Program.\u00a0 I would like to install more gunshot detectors and license plate readers.\u00a0 I grew up in District 5.\u00a0 I own a home and I work here.\u00a0 I have a vested interest in improving our district and I truly want to make it a more enjoyable place for all of us.<\/p>\n Website: https:\/\/margaretlucht.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Facebook:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100077518114955<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" District 5 candidates running for city council in May 7th election: Cle Kimble Cle D.
