For county council no one is being challenged so we aren’t endorsing anyone. However, we do ask you to support County Executive Rich Fitzgerald who as been very visible in the Black community and very supportive of diversity across the board in county government.
In the hotly contested City Council District 9 race we are endorsing Twanda Carlisle. Why? She has paid her dues for her mistake, and has been willing to face the community and tell them why she should be given another chance. Our problem with Rev. Ricky Burgess is that he chose to not participate in debates with his opponents and tell the people first hand why they should vote for him. The people in this district deserve a representative they can see and talk to.
In the City Council District 7 we endorse LaTasha Mayes. She is a young woman who has proven her devotion and concern for her community through various marches and rallies.
Most of the School Board candidates are running unopposed. However there are three candidates vying for Mark Brentley’s seat. We endorse Rosemary Moriarty because of her 35 years of experience as a teacher, vice principal and principal. She knows the system and can help improve it.
