Dear friends, as you know I am making a spirited run for the Delegate to U.S. House of Representatives seat in Washington, DC.  I want to redefine the position of congressional representative in Washington, DC to expand the position’s sphere of influence and cultivate the function of the office to make it more significant and relevant to the citizens of the District of Columbia. I will be a full-time congressional representative that is substantially more engaged in policy issues that affect District residents and small and local business owners. I want to create a stronger city through efficient and effective use of federal programs, grants and stimulus money. I will focus on:   

 

Education (Title 1, HeadStart and Opportunity Scholarship Programs)
Job Creation & Job Training (Creating a Renewable Energy Complex in DC)
Healthcare Initiatives (H.I.V/A.I.D.S. Awareness/Treatment Programs)
Small & Local Business Grants and Improved Contracting Opportunities 
5 Year Statehood Plan for District Residents

 

My campaign is gaining traction.  I have appeared on NewsTalk w/Dave Lucas on News Channel 8, on the Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi and Tom Sherwood, on Roll Call TV with Robert Traynum, and I debated Rep. Norton on the Politics Program w/Mark Plotkin on WTOP-103.5FM.  My Op-Ed was published in the Metro Section of the Washington Post (08/15), I’ve been in the Hill Rag, in the Northwest Current twice, and I won the Ward 3 Democrats Straw Poll and the DC Muslim Democratic endorsement by large margins.  These appearances and victories are indicative of a campaign that is gaining momentum, but I need your campaign contributions and your vote on September 14, 2010 to keep the momentum going.
