Why should voters elect you?
"I will devote my full time to serving the citizens of Ward 7, unlike others who had lofty goals of higher office on their minds."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Making Ward 7 a vital, thriving and livable community, by bringing development and affordable housing while protecting our long-term residents and businesses from the threat of two forms of eminent domain: property seizure and soaring property tax bills; by working with the MPD and the P.G. County police on cross-border crimes to make our residents safer; and by working to rehabilitate Woodson High School and creating a vocational education high school so our children have options other than college available to them and their families, is to me, the most urgent problem facing the ward."
