When Council Member Hanks ran for office, she ran on public safety and creating a masterplan. This past year, Council Member Hanks was able to accomplish many of the goals she set forth, including taking big steps in the revitalization of the North Shore Waterfront. In the new year, Council Member Hanks intends to advocate for the increase in the department of aging budget. Council Member Hanks stated, “the department of the aging and our seniors are some of the most important pieces of our constituency” and she plans to continue pushing for the prioritization of senior initiatives in 2023.
