As a 20-year Army veteran, entrepreneur and public servant for most of my life, the changes I see today in our great city isn't one most of us would approve of. Thus, I have decided to run for Mayor and am committed to making your concerns and issues not only heard, but acted on in City Hall. Like you, I want to play an active role in making our city and diverse communities a safer and better place to raise our families and show the best of Baltimore to the nation and the world. The vision I have for Baltimore is based on four principles. If we, as one city, can accomplish these principles, then we, together, can forge a future filled with unlimited promise. We know we have a litany of issues and challenges that face our city and I would prefer a holistic approach rather than a Band-Aid to resolve them. We must get to the root of our issues by cleaning our house. Though I'm an entrepreneur, I am no multi-millionaire. I know everyday what many of our citizens been or are going through having been out of work for over two years myself. I have no political ties, no special interests' agendas to appease, and no political dynasty trying to hold power, which is why I am running as an independent candidate. It's you and I, together, the city I call home. If you are tired of the status quo for we've endured for the past 50 years, in what seems like a revolving door and share some of my vision for revitalizing our beautiful city, then I urge you to connect with me and help make it happen! Together, we can make a meaningful difference-- for our families, our communities, our city. It's time for citizens to have a government and a leader that works for them. It's time that we end the lip-service, but it's up to you if you are ready to make it so. As a soldier, we're taught to execute missions. As mayor, I vow to execute the mission of bringing Baltimore into a more citizen-driven 21st century city. But, the vote lies in your hands next November and with many months left, you'll be able to learn more about where I stand on issues. By then, I hope you will take a consensus of my opponents and conclude to elect me as your next mayor. [2] |
