As the founder of Silver Hearts, a group dedicated to serving the residents of Urbana’s Silverwood neighborhood, I am proud to endorse Annie Adams for Mayor of Urbana!

Silver Hearts focuses on fostering community to reduce violence and address food insecurity. These goals align perfectly with Annie’s commitment to building an inclusive and collaborative Urbana, where law enforcement, community services, and residents work together to create a safer, stronger city.

Annie’s leadership is grounded in experience, vision, and compassion. She understands the importance of empowering others to step into leadership roles and values the voices of all residents—adults and youth alike. Her dedication to engaging our youth sends a clear message: their voices matter, and they are vital to the future of our city.

Annie Adams has the heart and determination to lead Urbana into a brighter, more unified future. My family and I wholeheartedly support her for mayor.
