Community Information

Focal points for the neighborhood include Lowell Elementary School, Olbrich Park, Worthington Park, the bike paths, the Atwood Avenue and East Washington Avenue corridors, Woodman's supermarket and the Milwaukee Street Post Office. The Goodman Community Center and the Worthington Park Salvation Army provide a variety of community events and services.

While the neighborhood was traditionally white, working class, it has diversified in recent years to include greater populations of African-Americans, Latinx and Hmong populations. At the same time, blue-collar workers (of all ethnic backgrounds) are recently being replaced with gentrifying professionals of higher income.

My community was historically a blue-collar working class neighborhood. Over the years, the neighborhood has become gentrified, with segments of the population working well paying professional jobs in the public, health care, education and technology sectors. Other portions of the population are in low-wage, service, construction and industrial jobs.

We need representatives that can listen to all segments of our community's population, including people at all points along the economic spectrum and both majority and minority racial, ethnic and language groups.
