Interview with "Miss Nneka"
"My name is Nneka “Miss Neka” Cleaver and over the last 10 years I have worked towards building our community and created the relationships needed to get things accomplished.
I currently work with or have worked with the Mayor, City Manager, DA office, Sheriff Office, Constable Precinct 4 Office, State Rep 119 (which makes up half of the Eastside), District 10 office, County Clerk, County Commissioners and several Judges within our Judicial system. These relationships have allowed me to help with community concerns, start and or support programs and opened the door for opportunity, education and growth.
I have been a part of District and City-wide change: I lead the charge in making Juneteenth a recognized SA Holiday and in turn a paid holiday for SA employees. I worked with the DA to create a community panel that helps with accountability within the DA office. I work with community partners to fill gaps needed in the district i.e., Community radio station, D2 Resource Guide and Eastside Chamber of Commerce.
I have been involved with the District 2 community non-stop; not only have I sat on community boards and been a part of community organizations. I have been a community partner with YMCA, HEB and Goodwill for several years and work with our community centers, initiatives, schools, churches, small business and big business in the area. I understand how our city Government works and I understand the needs of the community in all 4 corners of the District.
It is time for the residents of District 2 to have a strong voice, proactive leadership and complete involvement in what is going on in the community. I want to provide effective leadership that stands up for what the constituents want and need for our District to prosper."
