About 40 people gathered at the Malcolm X Library to talk with and hear Mrs. Abraham’s reasons for seeking the Fourth District City Council seat currently held by Henry Foster. Although Mrs. Abraham emerged on the scene as a vocal community member concerned about development in the Encanto area of the District, she says her concern is for the overall lack of representation and accountability shown by Councilman Foster. 

Martha Abraham says, “It’s not about me. It’s about the people who need an advocate at the table for the many issues impacting our community.”

She is one of  two people challenging Foster in the June Primary less than 60 days away. Martha Abraham says she is talking to people everyday so that she can hear their concerns.
