Dear Friends,
I've enjoyed serving on the Omaha City Council and am proud of our many accomplishments together. I am also proud to have served as City Council President and that I've kept my focus on the priorities we identified when first elected.
I've prioritized public safety, deterred property crime and funded the police athletic league for at-risk kids. I cut property taxes, voted against the restaurant tax and pushed for major pension reform. I renovated the Benson, Dundee and Florence Business Districts. And I've been a champion for increased street resurfacing, alternative transit, safe and affordable housing, recycling and sustainability, and diversity and inclusion.
I could not have achieved these milestones without your support and without the support of many business, philanthropic, and neighborhood leaders.
I hope you will remain active in our campaign for re-election so we can keep our city moving forward.
Pete Festersen
