Draft Clark Ray for Council Committee

Today, I decided to join the Draft Clark Ray for Council Committee. I've had the fortune of working with Clark on several projects, most notably in our neighborhood the S & T Street parks and Stead Park.

From the Washington City Paper: "The author of the release is Peter Rosenstein, the longtime gay activist who was once Mayor Adrian M. Fenty’s most vocal supporter in the GLBT community. The draft committee list of more than 80 names includes a number of folks active in gay-and-lesbian politics (Darrin Glymph, Lane Hudson, Sheila Alexander Reid), some neighborhood activist types (Cary Silverman, Jack Jacobson, Laurie Collins), and a few political wild cards (Adam Clampitt, Neil Richardson, Judith Terra, Jacque Patterson, Cora Masters Barry)."

My main reason for backing Clark is that he's proven that he can get things done. He pushed projects to get them completed in a timely manner and it was only under his stewardship that the S & T Street parks finally got underway after eight years of delay. Additionally, his dedication to the entire city and experience and support in all eight wards will bring a depth and scope to his campaign that few could match.

Mr. Mendolson has done much for our community during his extensive tenure on the Council. I laud his past work, and he should be commended for his service. Clark brings a new vitality, new ideas and a new vision which will help our entire city - including Ward 2 - as we continue the march of progress. I hope you will join me in supporting Clark Ray for Council!
