Dear Citizens of Fort Meade,
I have a deep love for our quaint small town, known for its big heart. Today, I humbly request your vote, not as an aspiring leader, but as someone dedicated to servant leadership.
My qualifications speak to my commitment. I have previously served as Mayor/Commissioner, during which time I diligently supported our volunteer firefighters and pushed for an increase in funding for more sustainable fire services to keep our town protected. My leadership style is founded on professionalism, built on leveraging and nurturing relationships, and collaboration to ensure the best possible results for our community.
In my vision for Fort Meade, I am resolute in my commitment to collaborate closely with community partners to enhance our schools, aiming to raise them to “A” standards while promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Mathematics, preparing our youth for a bright future.
My agenda also includes significant improvements to our infrastructure by securing state and federal funding sources and grants so that our citizens don’t bear the burden of costly tax increases. I will promote mixed-income developments that balance affordable housing units with market-rate housing. I will support policies that promote a business-friendly environment and a bustling Main Street district. I am committed to bringing sports and recreational facilities and opportunities to our city.
Embrace the principle of ‘Work, live, and play’ with Samuel Berrien! Your vote for me represents a commitment to a leader who not only adores our town but is wholeheartedly dedicated to working tirelessly for its enhancement. Together, let’s write the next chapter of Fort Meade’s vibrant story.
