Why should voters elect you?
"As a lifelong resident of D.C., my commitment for service to our community to support our exemplary role as a unified city."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Of course the need for education to our students, parents and ex-offenders, paramount to all communities, but especially for such a densely populated ward. Education benefits the nation as a commitment for responsible citizenship. No other country freely gives a quality to life opportunity. We must find ways to utilize our resources for our ward, city and country's future through education. And second: public safety. With pride in our educational accomplishments will come a measure of safety for all citizens, especially in our nation's capital."
