From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

2014 Democratic Primary Sample Ballot?

The 2014 Democratic Ballot is strange. Depending on your voting district, you received a "Democratic Ballot" with Doug Gansler and Jolene Ivey or Anthony Brown and Ken Ulman.

Look CLOSELY at the pictures below! In the 47th District, you get Gansler and Ivey. In the 23rd District, you get Brown and Ulman. What do you think about this? Not in either of these districts? Who was on the front of your sample ballot?

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
