Why should voters elect you?
I will bring global experience, broad vision and diplomacy to the council that I will utilize while working on behalf of Rockville's hardworking families.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
With Rockville having grown 30 percent in the past seven years, we need to take a proactive approach to maintain and improve our quality of life. This includes managing growth to preserve Rockville's rich history, exercising fiscal responsibility to make Rockville's hardworking families' tax dollars work for them, and continuing to improve pedestrian and public safety and traffic to keep our neighborhoods and children safe. I believe reaching out to Rockville's new and diverse communities and putting environmentally responsible measures to reduce our carbon footprint are issues that need to be moved to the front burner.
