I am excited to announce that I am running for Gaithersburg City Council. I am currently living in Pheasant Run neighborhood, right next to Seneca Creek State Park. My daughter attends Lakelands Park Middle School, and my son is a second year student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I work for an affordable housing developer, which builds and operates apartment communities throughout Mid Atlantic. I also write on local issues at https://patch.com/maryland/gaithersburg, check out my articles there, or you can click on the My Articles tab above.
I am running for City Council because I love living in Gaithersburg and will work to make it a better place (see Why am I running? section below). I am so grateful to live in this desirable and welcoming community, and would appreciate your vote for me in November. I will be responsive to my neighbors from all over the city and will provide new insights and energy to the city of Gaithersburg. Let's be great neighbors to one another, and make our city a little better.
I am running for City Council in Gaithersburg, MD because I believe that our city is at a crossroads. We are facing a number of challenges, including rising crime, speeding on residential streets, insufficient small business support, and a lack of affordable housing. However, we also have a number of opportunities, including our strong economy, our diverse population, and our commitment to being good neighbors.
I believe that my experience and skills make me the best candidate to address these challenges and opportunities. I have a proven track record of working with people from all walks of life to find common ground and solve problems. I am also a strong advocate for economic development, affordable housing, and environmental protection.
If elected, I will work to make Gaithersburg a city where everyone can thrive. I will tackle the challenges, while being responsive to neighbors' current and future needs. My main focus areas are: reducing property crime and speeding on residential streets, supporting small business and creating more affordable housing. I believe that these challenges can be addressed by taking a comprehensive approach that includes:
Property Crime
Property crime is a serious problem in our city and it has been increasing. It affects people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds. It makes people feel unsafe in their own homes and neighborhoods. It also costs businesses and taxpayers millions of dollars each year.
I believe that we can reduce property crime by taking a comprehensive approach that includes:
Speeding
Speeding is a major factor in traffic accidents, and it is especially dangerous in residential neighborhoods. I believe that we can reduce speed on neighborhood streets by taking the following steps:
Small Businesses
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They create jobs, provide goods and services, and contribute to the vibrancy of our community. However, small businesses are facing a number of challenges, including rising rents, increasing competition from online retailers, and a lack of access to capital.
I believe that we can support small businesses by taking the following steps:
Affordable Housing
The lack of affordable housing is a major problem in our community. It forces people to live further away from jobs, and decreases their quality of life.
I believe that we can build more affordable housing by taking the following steps:
