Brigitta Mullican, City Council Candidate

>

From the Rockville Central Interview with Candidates:

Twinbrook resident Brigitta Mullican says she is running “because I feel I have a lot of knowledge and experience and leadership” to offer the city. She’s lived in Twinbrook for 42 years and has 36 years of federal government service. “I’ve been proven to do my homework,” she says, “and I have a record of being persistent.”

“We all know that Rockville is a great place to live,” says Brigitta. “We have a big budget.” The key is that we need to think about “how to keep this budget reduced so that retired people can live here.”

Brigitta ran for mayor in 2005 and had a respectable showing. In this campaign, she says, the issues are similar: “Reducing taxes, having stronger internal controls on our accounts, ensuring services are provided at a fair cost, the safety of neighborhoods and streets.” But, she says, the biggest issue is “having a council that works together. You can have the best plan . . . but you need good people working together.” She says that, while “everyone says they want new policies, people are not concentrating on implementing policy” enough.

Brigitta says that, among other things, the city needs to improve its approach to infrastructure. “Infrastructure and operating services have gone down since Town Center [was built],” she says. “I am all for Town Center, but the city also has to look at its neighborhood’s needs.”

People ought to vote for Brigitta, she says, becuase “I will come to the Council without a preconceived agenda. I have no conflicts and no job interference. I will do this job 100%.”

Brigitta does not have a favorite Rockville restaurant, and says she “sure wishes there were a German restaurant and bakery.” (She says there used to be one in Derwood — anyone remember?) And, Brigitta points to Glenview Mansion as her favorite Rockville park. “It’s the only park in Rocvkille that can hold a large number of peope,” she says. “It’s the one place where you can have big events. We are lacking one place where we can bring all people together. Town Center is great but it can’t bring enough people together.”
