The Experienced Advocate Ward 8 Needs Right Now!
Electing people whose top priority is serving residents and empowering communities makes our city stronger. As a ‘Home Grown’ Ward 8 resident, I know firsthand the issues facing our ward. I’ve lived all my life with these issues, hopes and dreams, just like you have.
We all want living wage jobs, thriving neighborhood businesses, good schools for our kids, housing we can afford and accessible healthcare. And, after 30 years of working with Congresswoman Norton, Mayor Gray, and at the DC Council, I am the most experienced candidate to deliver results for Ward8.
If you give me the honor to serve as your new Councilmember, I will work tirelessly on your behalf.
In Service,
Sheila
