Let's get started...
It is an honor to represent District 13. Having taken the oath of office on June 22, I participated in my first council meeting on June 24. This month, I get briefed on the budget, code enforcement, zoning and economic development. With your support, I promise to stay focused on strengthening our neighborhoods and ensuring smart fiscal policies at City Hall.

Here is how to reach me
In just a few days, I will launch a new Web site at annmargolin.com. It will serve as a two-way dialogue between us. Many of you already know my administrative assistant Brenda Thompson. She is joined by my secretary Maricela Cuellar at Dallas City Hall. Please feel free to contact us at 214-670-3816 or through brenda.thompson@dallascityhall.com.

District news and information
One area of my Web site will feature District 13 news and information. We'd even like to link to the Web sites of every neighborhood association and crime watch organization in the district. Please send Web site URLs, regular neighborhood updates, and announcements about public, non-partisan events to webteam@annmargolin.com.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend
Many of our District 13 neighborhoods have wonderful July 4th activities planned. Some of you may be headed out of town for the weekend or to Fair Park for the free Fair Park Fourth celebration. No matter how you plan to honor our nation's freedoms, please take great care as you travel and celebrate. I want to see you and your loved ones around for a long time.
