The City of Dublin is a place that my family and I have proudly called home for the past nine years. During these years, I have seen the City of Dublin transform and I am now running for the Dublin City Council to keep this thriving city a great place for everyone to live.
My spouse, Sobia and I have been married for 28 years and have raised three daughters (Sana, Sarina, Saamia) and a son Sohail in Dublin public schools. We moved here for Dublin's quality of life, housing affordability, schools and diversity it has to offer. We made the right choice and have truly enjoyed living here and building great friendships with people in the community.
Sobia and I have been very active within Dublin community service. I previously served on the Dublin Planning Commission while Sobia has been very involved in the Dublin Schools and currently serving as President of Dublin Partners in Education and President of Fallon Middle School Parent Faculty Club.
Professionally, I have been working for 28 years and currently as VP of Global Sales Operations, My finance and accounting background will serve me well on city council, as I know how to make sure we spend our money wisely and keep our quality of life high. My extensive background in managing large budgets gives me great confidence when working with the city officials.
I have no doubt that my professional experiences will ensure proper management of city finances and assets, but politics is about more than dollars and cents. When I came to the USA as a high school student, I developed a passion for public service and giving back. I'm honored to have been selected as a School Board Member, Environmental Commission Member, and a Zoning Board Member. Public service is critical to our success as a community.
My admiration for this city has sparked my motivation to be a part in maintaining the quality of life here. I am running for City Council with the intent to address traffic concerns, boost city and school collaboration, support our public safety, and make our housing growth sustainable. If elected, I will maintain strong communication with fellow council members, city staff, school district and community members to achieve our goals.
I respectfully ask for your support and thank those of you who cast your vote for me. Please know that I am always available to listen to ideas and suggestions.
Stay Safe and Healthy,
Samir Qureshi
