Nasima Nastoh For Surrey City Council
9-19-2018
I am running for Surrey City council because I have lived in Surrey for 26 years and I believe in what Surrey represents.
Surrey is a diverse city made of different cultures and ethnic background all of whom work hard to form this beautiful community. I came as a refugee to Canada 33 years ago following the Russians invasion of Afghanistan. The journey was difficult. We had to escape though the mountain on horseback to save our lives while I was one month pregnant with my first son.
Having been an immigrant, I know the difficulties immigrants face to integrate into a new society. They need strong advocate to fight for them to give them access to affordable housing, reliable public transportation and safe community. Adversity makes us strong but people working together to reduce adversity that makes us all stronger. I feel that it is time to listen to the concerns of Surrey residents. I am ready to fight for residents of surrey to make surrey an affordable and safe city to live.
I have talked with many residents and I have heard what people said. Among the key issues were public safety, public transportation, and housing affordability. I believe strongly that politic should be about people and elected official should advocate for issues that impact the residents of the community.
Usually those with the loudest voices gain attention. It is time to listen to all voices. No voice is too small. If elected, I will provide community leadership by listening, by being open and transparent, and by being inclusive and responsive. On October 20, vote for Nasima Nastoh and I will promise that I will be your strongest voice in Surrey City Hall!!
