Why should voters elect you?
"I have the experience of serving for 14 years on the council and working with county, regional and state leaders on issues of common concern."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"One of my fundamental goals is to make sure that taxpayers can continue to afford to live in Takoma Park. Part of the solution is to make sure that our government is efficient and effective in providing the right mix of services. The other part is to make sure that we receive a larger and fairer rebate from Montgomery County and that we protect the amounts that we receive from the state of Maryland as they look for ways to balance their budget."
