Why should voters elect you?
"I am passionate about working for Ward 4. With 10 years' government experience, I have the know-how and the energy to best serve Ward 4."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Residents throughout Ward 4 are demanding that we improve our public schools. This is the most urgent issue facing our ward and the District of Columbia. We must not only address the state of our facilities, but we must also improve student performance and demand accountability on every level. Students and families, no matter what corner of the ward they live in, should have access to a high-quality public education."
