Why should voters elect you?
"I'll be a strong, independent voice for Ward 4. I'll bring new ideas and a fresh approach to the council, and I'm ready to lead."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Education is the most urgent problem facing Ward 4 and the entire District of Columbia, and it impacts every aspect of life in our city. As leaders and parents, we must highlight the value of education to both our youths and the community at large. I support the facility improvements currently underway. The governing structure isn't the problem, money isn't the problem. Political will and the reprioritization of how we spend our public school dollars are needed to improve the quality of education in D.C."
