Issues

There are numerous issues throughout our neighborhood and Washington, DC.  My choice of these four areas to highlight on this website is not intended to downplay other concerns.  Rather, these are areas that as an ANC Commissioner I believe I could make a tangible difference and drive continuous improvement.  Undoubtedly, new issues will emerge over the years and and others will shift -- no one has a crystal ball -- so I also hope to earn your trust that I would be the right person to handle other issues as they come up over the 2 year term.

For this campaign I am focusing on four areas in particular, because I want our neighborhood to be: 

managing Expectations

My objective is to ensure when issues arise, I am honoring your trust by managing your expectations accordingly.  What I mean is, I do not want to overpromise and underdeliver.  An ANC Commissioner has influence on neighborhood and city issues (the "A" stands for Advisory after all), but cannot solve everything alone.  Some issues are systemic and need broader support to resolve.  Ultimately the Mayor and the Council have the ability to direct change, ANC Commissioners influence it.  Therefore, when looking at any particular issue, I will ask myself:

Then I'll use those answers to work with you!

I also want to ensure it is clear: I do not have all the answers.  In many cases I do not yet even know the questions!  Litter, traffic safety, the state of public services, and housing are issues that have affected me directly.  I am very aware of them.  I guarantee there are issues I am blissfully unaware of.  Help me learn about what impacts you, so I can do what I can to resolve them!  No person is an island, and in this position I will only be successful with YOUR help!
