As a commission member, Runnels will work to support area women and children by researching top women shelters in the country, comparing the findings with those of SafeHaven, a local area shelter in need of restructuring, and submitting an improvement plan to the Fort Worth City Council recommending how funding should be allocated. She will also participate in an initiative to educate area women on the importance of voting.
Runnels will represent District Six during her term on the commission, which is scheduled to expire in October 2008.
