Making Change Happen
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY COUNCIL, DISTRICT 9I am a 2010 candidate to represent you on the County Council for District 9 in Prince George's County, MD. I am running for County Council because I love our county and I believe our communities are hungry for a dramatic change in the direction of our leadership. We need responsive, creative, community-driven leadership on the County Council to advocate for our interests in South County, focused on JOBS, SCHOOLS, SAFETY & SMART GROWTH.
I have a track record of community advocacy, experience at nearly every level of government -- MD Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Federal Trade Commission Attorney, and Board of Trustees Member of the Prince George's Community College -- and a dedication to public service to deliver the kind of change that our neighbors deserve.
