"Councilmember Montgomery Steppe has been a strong supporter of the Filipinx-American community In D4 and especially in Bay Terrace. She supported our Bay Terrace grassroots community advocacy for the Bay Terrace Senior Center, that has recently completed construction after decades of broken promises by multiple electeds. She has shown herself to be a true and authentic leader in D4, empathetic and responding quickly to the needs of our community. She and her team live in and/or are from the D4 community so they know the needs first hand. We don't ever need to wonder about Councilmember Montgomery Steppe's intentions because she has and always will be for the people, our community, our neighborhood. That's why she is the community's Councilmember, and that's why she will make an excellent Council President. She is personally in touch with her District, and would do the same for the others. We are proud to call her our sister, and stand besides her 100%."
