Jessica Ramakis, Vienna Town Council

I am deeply committed to public service. I previously served on the Planning Commission for the Town of Vienna and have been a civil servant in education policy for 20 years. My approach is based on pursuing the best available information to inform decisions, considering different perspectives, and learning from experience. I believe in sharing what I learn in a way that appreciates that people who care and have good ideas are also busy. People who earn the public trust should be able to unlock government and share it with transparency in a way that invites creative ideas and feedback. I have significant experience working this way in public service and will use this approach in my role on Town Council.
