TAMARA FLOYD: Exclusive Interview with Candidate for Goodyear City Council

*EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW*
As the 2024 election for Goodyear City Council nears, I’ve invited all six candidates running for 3 seats to join the “Jen & Friends” podcast - to talk about the important issues facing this All-America City.
One candidate, Tamara Floyd, took up the offer.
We talked for about two hours. This is Part 1 covering topics such as housing, hiring practices, colaborating, community, water, fire, and police.
What I enjoyed most was hearing about Tamara Floyd’s extensive experience and commitment to community.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we have.
*My door is open to each candidate running for Goodyear City Council to interview on “Jen & Friends.”
