Why We Support Alyce

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alyce for the past three years on the Stanton Community Foundation. I found her to be a hard worker and very innovative. With the foundation she developed new programs to assist the youth of Stanton to achieve their academic goals. She approaches her responsibilities with logic and common sense. As a current member of the Stanton City Council she presents a strong independent voice working to make Stanton’s forward vision a reality. I enthusiastically endorse Alyce to continue being a valued member of the Stanton City Council.

I believe that Alyce brings a new vision of what young families in our community need, she has openness about her; she listens and takes what you say to heart. When the COVID-19 lockdown first started, Alyce procured a donation of thousands of facemasks for the Lions Club, which was distributed to the neediest in our city. She also took the initiative and worked with the Foundation to personally sew hundreds of cloth masks to donate to our most vulnerable and underserved seniors. For me, Alyce brought a different perspective, ways to accomplish our goals as a board, and is a very enthusiastic team player. We need a strong voice who will work hard for the residents she not only serves in District 2 but for all of Stanton residents. I am honored and thankful to endorse Alyce Van for District 2 – Stanton City Council.

I’m glad to endorse Alyce Van for City Council because I have personally seen how devoted she is to her community. She grew up in Stanton her whole life and wants to make sure her district is well represented. I’ve seen her make things change in a good way. She reaches out to find and affect change. She helped us improve Park Place Apartments’ security, succeeded in getting management to delay a rent increase in a pandemic, and always asks what our residents need. She continues to work for positive change. She is a great friend, City Council woman, gardener, and Mom.

With great respect, I endorse Alyce Van for Stanton City Council. As soon as she joined the council, Alyce showed excellent leadership and communication skills. She’s been a leader in dealing with the Homeless Issues facing our city and deserves much credit for ending the encampments and working with individuals experiencing homelessness in a compassionate manner. She is a member of the Stanton Community Foundation and supports the Boys and Girls Club of Stanton. Please vote for Alyce on November 3rd.

Council Member, City of Stanton

I first met Alyce at a Stanton Community Outreach meeting and have since had many conversations with her about the future of the city. I quickly learned that she was serving on the city council not for personal or political gain, but from a desire to meaningfully improve the lives of the residents of Stanton. Her unwavering advocacy is driven by a strong sense of morality and selflessness. These principles guide her to ask the difficult questions and challenge the status quo when necessary. The city is facing challenges in the near future requiring continuing leadership that represents our diverse community. It is for these reasons that I endorse Alyce Van for Stanton City Council.

I am endorsing Alyce Van in the upcoming Stanton City Council election in November 2020.
