"He's extending himself to the com- munity," Johnson said. "I appreciate that." LELAND'S APPROACH "We have to do a lot more of these engagement sessions — it's my tikkun olam for Grandale," Leland said, refer- ring to the concept in Judaism of acts of kindness to perfect or repair the world. "The role of an elected official gives me the opportunity to listen and assist in making people's lives better." Leland "absolutely" connects his Jewish background with his decision to go into public service as well as his level of dedication to his work. He and his family attended Kehillat Israel Congregation in Lansing while he was growing up, and his summers were spent at Habonim Camp Tabvor in Three Rivers, Mich. He currently belongs to the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue in Detroit. Leland's parents are Burton and Rosanne Leland. Burton is a former Michigan state representative and Michigan state senator who represented Northwest Detroit. He now serves on the Wayne County Commission representing District 6. Both of Leland's parents have masters' of social work degrees, and this also influences his strategy when it comes to public service. He said his father incor- porated social work into his role as an elected official by helping people with small issues that affected their quality of life and, as councilman, he makes a point to do the same. "Leadership has always been a big part of my upbringing," he said. "My parents and Jewish leaders throughout my life have made me who I am." Leland pairs his parents' guidance with his own education and training, having earned a bachelor's degree in public administration with a focus in community development from Central Michigan University. "City council is the most basic level of government — that's not just in the city of Detroit, but everywhere," he said. "You're in the trenches. Everything you do is impacting people's lives, and I take that very seriously." Joyell Lewis is a community coordina- tor on Leland's staff. She's been with the councilman for two years. They have known one another for more than 10 years, since they both worked for the Michigan House of Representatives. He was a state representative while another house member employed her. Lewis is one of seven people who work for Leland and one of three who work in a community engagement capacity. She's closely involved with neighbor- hood block clubs and local nonprofits as well as Detroit's Department of Neighborhoods. She acts as the council- man's "eyes and ears," conveying con- stituent concerns to him. Lewis describes Leland as "laid back" with a "lot of energy" and a "big heart for the community." She particularly enjoys walking the neighborhood with the councilman and talking to residents. This is something Leland and Lewis first did together when she worked on his campaign for city council three years ago. She refers to it as "knocking on doors," and it helps ensure people receive information "more organically." "He's a great person, a great joy to work with," Lewis said. "He makes sure we don't miss a beat as far as keeping the community engaged with our office." * Gabe Leland, 34 - Elected to Detroit City Council in 2013.
