Moore Announces For City Council

>

Today Tom Moore is officially declaring his run for City Council. We here at Rockville Central do not endorse candidates, but we love participation in our local elections and are pleased to provide information on all the candidates.

He announces his candidacy with this statement on why he wants to be a City Councilmember:

Our federal, state, and county governments have been hit hard by this recession. Rockville’s city government has largely been spared so far, but there is trouble coming. I will be a leader with the energy to address the tough decisions that lie ahead, and the flexibility to catch whatever curve balls get hit to us. I have been involved in Rockville’s planning, our traffic, our libraries, and our neighborhoods. I have worked with our seniors. I have helped drain the politics out of some of our most touchy compensation issues. My background in Rockville’s public safety is unmatched among council candidates and incumbents.

If elected, my number one task will be what ought to be the number one task of everyone associated with Rockville’s government: The continued delivery of exceptional services to our residents. I will work to assure that we have affordable housing that respects our neighborhoods. I will pressure Rockville’s commercial landlords to quickly fill their empty spaces, such as the SuperFresh site in Town Center. I will work with the county and the state to ease Rockville’s traffic woes. I will monitor the implementation of our new green building code and make sure it achieves its goals without bringing unintended burdens. And I will work well with my colleagues, no matter who they are. There has been far too toxic an atmosphere among councilmembers; the people of Rockville deserve better.

More information can be found at his website.

If you would like to meet this new candidate, he’s kicking off his campaign in person at Giuseppi’s Pizza on Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 1PM. He says “Come thirsty for a little bit of civics and hungry for a lot of pizza!”
