Dear Citizens of Bowie and Guests,

Hello and Welcome to my website. I have created this informative and interactive website primarily to stay in touch with the residents of District 4, whom I represent on the Bowie City Council. The purpose of the website is to create a forum where District 4 residents can contact me and let me know their vision, ideas, concerns, and recommendations for the great city of Bowie. The other major purpose of the website is to give me an opportunity to communicate what I think is important and what city residents need to know. I am excited about this unique and interactive opportunity and look forward to your input to make it even better. So please don’t hesitate to give your feedback and recommendations on how to improve this site.

Additionally, I would like to thank you again, the residents of District 4 for electing me as your representative. The last 90 days have been full of hard work and excitement. However, most importantly, they have been very productive. With the help of my fellow colleagues on the Bowie City Council.
