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.

Mount Rainier's Election Board Receives TRAINING

On yesterday, members of the Mount Rainier Election Board took a ride to the Prince George's County Election Board to received training from the experts.

Those in attendance were Maxine Drakeford, Supervisor of Election, Dina Williams, Clerk/Judge, Karl (KC) Jones, Judge, Nichole Logan, Judge, Ophelia Baxter, Judge, and Matthew Weber, Judge.

Following their training, the Election Board, met at Mount Rainier City Hall for their first official meeting, and began their process of preparing for the upcoming City Elections.

Their three major goals are 1) Increase voter registration, 2) Increase the number of voter to 1500, and 3)Get more residents living in apartments involved in the election process.

Look forward to seeing this energetic new team of leaders out and about in our neighborhood over the next several weeks. They will be asking you to help get residents registered to vote as well as asking you to get registered to vote in the May 4th Election.

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.
