Why are you running for office? *

I'm running for office to represent" we the people", change the status and quad pro quo in Annapolis and Baltimore. I am also running for office for Allah, my family, and country. I'm not running for office to be a "seat warmer", personal, financial, or political gain, but to represent the people as representative government is supposed to be.

Who do you consider your political role model, and why? *

My political roles are Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, Medgar Evers, Sidney Poitier, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglas, Thomas Jefferson, Cicely Tyson, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Maya Angelou, Thomas Jefferson because they were and are political giants in their own right.

Given the current status of our country, state, and City, my favorite books at the moment are Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, George Orwell's 1984, and Animal Farm.

Lower taxes equal a better economy, higher taxes equals a stagnation of the economy. With regards to spending, I don't believe our elected officials should just have a blank check to spend in a frivolous manner, but be responsible as they would for their own households.

I'm in favor of land use, growth, and development if it benefits the people.
