Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

“	What is your political philosophy? My political philopsy is shaped by many factors including my family upbringing, religious beliefs, political exposure, gender and religious beliefs. My political philopsy are not produced by a single event although a particularly striking event can contribute to its formation. The simultaneous workings of all these factors will determine my political philosophy even among family members, friends, work associates, spouses, and casual acquaintances. Is there anything you would like to add? While serving on the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Board, Yolanda worked tireless to improve the parks and recreation centers in District 5. Yolanda was instrumental and advocated for bond funding for our parks and recreation in District 5. Yolanda have a proven track record and she’s the only candidate with experience at City Hall. Yolanda seeks to bring renewed energy and 5-point plan will help revitalized district 5. “The Right Woman” Yolanda Faye Williams; “The Right Place” Pleasant Grove (District 5); “The Right Time” Now.	”
