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.

The Mayors' Association of Prince George's County wants you to VOTE!

There are twenty-seven mayors in Prince George's County, and all twenty-seven (27) are asking you to participate in the Presidential Election between now and 8:00 p.m. on November 3, 2020.

The Mayors' Association of Prince George's County wants you to know:

• If you are in line by 8pm to vote, you will be allowed to vote. At 8:01, you’ll be out of luck.

• Voter intimidation is illegal and should be reported to an election judge, a poll watcher, or the police immediately.

• Keep your trust in boards of elections - your votes will be counted.

• Unfortunately, it’s too late to request a mail-in ballot. You will have to vote in person, either at an early voting location or on election day.

• You (or your friends or family!) can still register to vote (and vote the same day!) on election day or during early voting.

• Mail-in ballots can be dropped off until 8pm on election day at all early voting locations, election day locations, and at the County Board of Elections.

• Only a limited number of polling places are open. For locations, check the County Board of Elections website locations or call them at 301-341-7300.

• Early voting will be Monday, October 26 through Monday, November 2, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

• Election Day voting will be Tuesday, November 3, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

• You do not need a photo id to vote. Just know your name, address, and birthday.

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.
