Why Run for Council……….?

My decision to run for City Council is based on my strong commitment to community involvement and my belief that together we can make better decisions beneficial to the future for the District of Columbia . We have the opportunity to stop run-away taxing and irresponsible spending by electing Marcus Skelton for D.C. Council Member Ward 7.

Because public education, public safety, and job growth are three hotly debated issues in our community. I am committed to meeting as many of you as possible and learning how you feel about these and other issues that affect the city because there are multiple solutions to every problem. I also believe that all citizens agree on a few principles.

Bi-partisan government is beneficial to the future of the district because monopolies tend to lead to corruption.

Strong values and community involvement keep our streets and children safe.

The District of Columbia has a responsibility to prepare its youth to compete in today’s global economy.

More businesses mean more jobs.

Citizens need to keep more of what they earn to keep up with the rising cost of living.
