Why should voters elect you?
"Because I am qualified and will work hard for my constituents so that they'll have the highest quality of life in the District of Columbia."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent problem facing Ward 4 is fixing our schools. We can accomplish this if we approach it from the right direction. Our children are not obtaining the educational skills needed to be successful in life. All learning is not conducted inside of the classroom. In fact, most of what children learn is outside of the classroom in after-school programs and other extracurricular activities. These programs are missing from our educational system. We must provide an overall learning environment for our children. The city must fund 100 percent of the after-school and early-childhood programs for DCPS students."
