With tears of joy, my council bill establishing the Office of Returning Citizens was signed into law. This journey is deeply personal, as I witnessed both my parents navigate the challenging process of re-entering society after encounters with the criminal justice system. 1/4

Sincere thanks to MONSE for their partnership and dedicated work on comprehensive re-entry initiatives over the past two years. I look forward to working with Mayor Scott, MONSE and my colleagues on staffing and robust programming for returning citizens.
