Melissa Cseszko for Victoria City Council
I chose to stay. Now I am choosing to step up.
Born and raised in Victoria, Melissa is a downtown small business owner running to bring practical leadership, renewed confidence, and real accountability back to the city she calls home.
“When my lease came up, I had a choice. Like many others, I could have left. Instead, I chose to stay and keep investing in Victoria.”
