* 1. Candidate Bios

Kiran Agarwal
- I’ve always been passionate about building community and creating meaningful connections among neighbors. From organizing Sienna’s first Diwali celebration in 2022, before Johnson Development began hosting such events, to continuing to lead and support cultural gatherings for the Indian community and beyond, I’ve found joy in bringing people together. My involvement extends beyond event planning; it’s about fostering inclusion, celebrating diversity, and strengthening the bonds that make our neighborhood thrive. Serving as Village Representative would allow me to expand that impact, explore new ways to serve, and contribute more deeply to the vibrant community we’re all proud to call home.

I want to represent the interests of residents-especially those who may not always feel heard-and help make decisions that reflect the needs and values of our community. Whether it’s improving local services, supporting small businesses, enhancing safety, or protecting our environment, I can bring energy, accountability, and a fresh perspective to the role.
