As a proud DC native, we have made so much progress in our city since the day Home Rule began for district residents. Over time, many have stepped up to the plate to be our representatives on Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANC) across our city with promises of being a dedicated advocate for the community, only to be revealed as false hope and trickery. There is too much greatness to be discovered in our communities, it's time we return to the days when commitment to public service was a real thing, something you can touch.

That's what I stand for. Having purpose and faith in my community of Fort Stanton is why I stand before you today as a candidate for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, single member district 8B04. Responsive leadership is what our ANCs need. Dedication to the people over self-enrichment is my motto and the message that needs to be sent to all levels of our government. 

We must not become complacent and satisfied with mediocre representation of our needs and concerns on our Advisory Neighborhood Commissions. When incidents occur that display complete ignorance and disengagement for the use of tax-payer funds, our community must stand up to this careless handling of our money.
