Madame Mayor

May we officially introduce you to our new Mayor Remy Drabkin.... We are so thrilled that we got to spend a bit of time with our friend, and now Mayor, and chat about what her life is like in her new job. Remy has been known to many in McMinnville for years as the owner and winemaker of Remy Wines. And we were so heartened when the citizens of McMinnville elected her as our new Mayor last year. Remy brings an energy and enthusiasm for City government that can't be ignored and you will hear in this week's Episode 35: Madame Mayor the wide range of things she is leading and involved with on behalf of all of us. Mayor Drabkin is a listener and a doer and you can hear it in her voice when she knows that something important has been accomplished. While she is doing the work of Mayor, Remy is busy running Remy Wines and also co-founded Wine Country Pride and the Queer Wine Fest. We could have talked with the Mayor for hours, but her time is valuable and so we weren't able to dive into all of these topics. So for today, we focus on her role as Mayor and we hope that when you hear her talk you will feel encouraged by the work that is being done and motivated to engage in the work our City is doing for McMinnville.
