Why should voters elect you?
As a council member, I will be a strong and capable conduit, who listens and encourages participation in the city's political process.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
With the recent spike in crimes in our area, the issue of personal and public safety is in the forefront of College Park residents' minds. It has been suggested that, when all the agencies that participate in policing activities here are factored in, College Park is the most policed area in the entire district. The sense amongst many residents is that this is not the case. College Park may be safer in terms of statistics that compare across the county, but many residents do not feel safe nor do they believe they are receiving adequate services.
