20060823 KDDC Michelle Jefferson for District 5 Senate


I'm Michelle Jefferson and your candidate for State Senate, District 5.

So often our elected officials become too indifferent and unresponsive to the wishes of the people they represent. Politicians start to believe they know more about the issues impacting Carroll and Baltimore County families than those who are actually confronted with them every day. The residents of District 5 know what is best for their families. They alone are in a position to determine how best to live their lives.

The unfortunate truth is that the district has suffered as a result of this political arrogance, and I believe that is unacceptable.

As your State Senator, I will work to change this negative and harmful attitude. I will work for you in Annapolis. I pledge to confront the issues most important to the residents of our district, not those of special interest groups or personal friends.

An elected official is a public servant who should be both accessible and accountable to the people they represent. To be an effective representative, I believe it is essential to maintain an open and honest relationship with other elected officials, regardless of their political affiliation. This dialogue is a fundamental part of representing the people, and getting the job done.

On September 12, I ask for your vote so together we can make a real difference.
