Why should voters elect you?
The voters should elect me because I will listen to their wishes and make sure their voices are heard.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The ever-increasing number of cars on our roads needs to be addressed immediately. If residents and visitors are to enjoy the new amenities which are coming to College Park, we need to make it easier for people to get to them. The construction of the Purple Line and the planned improvements on Route 1 would help to improve the traffic problem.
