HUMBOLDT — Growing up in Humboldt, Caitlin Senko said she has seen a lot of wonderful things come to the city, especially in the last few years.
With the upcoming municipal election, Senko wants to become part of making the city even better but putting her name on the city ballot.
Supporting Humboldt businesses, commerce, and infrastructure are important to her, she said, so she wants to continue the work that councils have completed in the past.
“We've seen a lot of major infrastructure projects in the last few years and there's a few more on the horizon, like the lagoon and the north side park. Those things are really important for the people who currently live in Humboldt to make their lives better, but also for attracting more young families and small businesses.”
Senko has worked closely with the City of Humboldt in the past, she said, and has worked in various fields where she has gained experience with insurance and advertising. She doesn’t make decisions on a whim, she said, doing research, asking questions and using the information wisely.
“A lot of people want change, and this is an opportunity to help make those changes and help give people voices and to help Humboldt grow and help voices who maybe haven't been heard in the past be heard in the future.”
While she is not one to be in the limelight, that is the last reason she is running for council, she said. This is also a reason why she will be campaigning on social media before the ballots are cast on Nov. 9.
