Why should voters elect you?
"I have a different viewpoint from the other candidates because I am more active in the community and associate with everyday common citizens."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent issue facing our jurisdiction is the shortage of resources in human services. The City of Rockville provides less than 5 percent resources in human services; the rest is coming from both state and county. My goals are the following: 1. To provide housing for low-income seniors. 2. To secure more funding for persons with disabilities. 3. To recruit more volunteers for community service. 4. To help new residents become part of our society. 5. To increase after-school programs and continuing adult education programs. 6. To increase community involvement for gang prevention. 7. To develop the Twinbrook Neighborhood Plan."
