In this community-centered episode, host Hanna Schoenrock sits down with Denver residents Bud and Ann Cesena. Bud is currently a Lincoln County Commissioner and is seeking a second term in the upcoming election, and Ann is president of the Westport Association. Hanna, Bud, and Ann talk all things community. If you live in Lincoln County, don't miss this one!

Bud talks about how his 30 years as a police officer in Mecklenburg County and Ann's various roles in the public school system (including being one school's disciplinarian) ensured that neither are bashful about much of anything. They've been serving their communities for many years; it was a natural next step for Bud to dive into local politics and for Ann to serve Denver's largest neighborhood as President of its Homeowner's Association.

On the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners, Bud has accomplished a great deal with his colleagues, and he looks forward to accomplishing even more next term.  He talks about the projects that he hopes to tackle and the issues that affect Lincoln County residents. Early voting begins on April 28, and the primary is on May 17. If you're interested in supporting Bud, you'll find all of his contact information below in these Show Notes.

Ann talks about how rewarding it is to be involved with her neighbors and with the community. Both she and Bud stress the importance of getting involved, making a difference, and building community. Civic-minded and incredibly friendly and fun, Bud and Ann are tremendously involved and invested in Denver and Lincoln County. Enjoy the episode!
