WARD 5
From page 1
and Kiwanis International.
"I have been very involved in the
town since the beginning," he said.
"Whenever IShave to leave, I always
regret it because there is always
something cool going on."
Nowadays, Anglin spends most
of his time in Ward 5 knocking on
doors and promoting his candidacy,
and estimates that he talks to 10-12
people per day.
"We've built the campaign from
what we're hearing citizens say
around town," he said.
Woods said she hopes that, as an
incumbent, her experience will be
an attractive quality this election.
She initially joined City Council
in 2001 after former Council mem-
ber Chris Kolb left to become a
state representative and nominated
Woods to fill his spot.
Woods chaired the Solid Waste
Commission and served on the
Environmental Commission, the
Planning Commission, the Audit
Committee and the Downtown
Marketing Task Force.
She also pushed Ann Arbor citi-
zens to understand the cost on their
city of the war in Iraq.
Woods said she first met oppo-
nent Mike Anglin last year.
"We are both respectful of each
other's position because we are in
the same party," she said. "But I
don't think he always understands
the complexity of some issues the
City Council has to deal with."
Of Woods, Anglin said he is dis-
appointed that she generally agrees
with the majority of the Council.
"She's good at attending meetings
but we need more opinions," he said.
Anglin believes that Ann Arbor is
a "cultural Mecca for environmen-
tal change," and advocates the envi-
ronmental enhancement of existing
and developing buildings. He is also
concerned with the transparency of
City Council.
"I would like to see a roll-call vote
on every item," he said. "We need a
participatory voice and a democracy
and that's why I'm running."
Anglin said he has the support
of several Ann Arbor Republicans,
who are not represented on the
Council.
"I don't think they should feel
locked out of the election because
we need more dialogue," he said.
Both candidates emphasize
improving housing in student-pop-
ulated areas as part of their cam-
paign.
Anglin is concerned about the
relationship between landlord
and tenant, and wants to see more
enforcement ofhousing codes.
Woods said she is concerned
about making Ann Arbor more
affordable, closing loopholes in the
lease-signing ordinance that delays
the deadline apartment tenants
have to renew their leases, and fur-
ther developing Ann Arbor.
