She plans to fight for unity

Nobles says she plans to fight for unity, especially in this time when people are divided on so many issues.

“I anticipate over the course of my term, I will see lots of protests and demonstrations,” she said. “My ask is that we are all safe and civil and respectful of each other, so we can get to the real work. So we can hear the issues and take action on the issues for our constituents.”
