Why should voters elect you?
"I am a candidate who believes that the primary requisite for public office is a willingness to serve, not a drive to
become self-serving."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"A city that does not serve its residents well, nor functions very well in far too many basic areas; police that are conspicuous by their absence, especially during the rush hours; economic development that seems to benefit primarily special interest; the infusion/intrusion of outside money into ward politics; the attempt to build team/machine politics in D.C.; the abject failure of our elected leadership to provide, after nearly four years, a final estimated cost for the baseball fiasco; and its inability to streamline a bureaucracy to enable the creation of a quality public education system."
