Why should voters elect you?
"I will inject new life into our City Council, providing energy and experience as an attorney, and ensure accountability in our city government."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Development, both in and around College Park, is changing the nature of our city. Projects along the Route 1 corridor and around the Greenbelt Metro will offer countless new opportunities to College Park residents. The city must ensure, though, that these new developments benefit College Park residents. The city must reduce traffic by increasing public transportation and provide access to shopping and recreational opportunities by foot and by bike. Also, as the city becomes more crowded, we must work with the Prince George's County police force to minimize crime and ensure the safety of our city's residents."
