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.

A LEADER FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME

Mount Rainier's Mayor and Council have NO control over what goes on in our schools. Decisions about the schools are made by the Prince George's County School Board. Mount Rainier is represented by one Board member elected by the residents of our District

Amber Waller represented our District for some years, and we worked closely together to stop the flooding on Thomas Stone Elementary's parking lot. We worked together to ensure full staffing at Mount Rainier Elementary and Thomas Stone.

Here is her endorsement for Mayor Malinda Miles and her Campaign.

A LEADER FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME

Mayor Malinda Miles gives of herself unconditionally to the greater Mount Rainier community around the clock, in all kinds of weather, in good health and not so good, willingly and to all who will receive with a smile.

Mayor Miles is interested in the well-being of the whole family--feeding, clothing, engaging the community with progressive conversation. She realizes that children are our future and supports and provides programs with the neighborhood schools for families and staff.

Mayor Miles sacrifices time from her family for others, and her home is always open to others.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with Mayor Miles, and I have found her to be helpful and insightful for the greater community's problems and needs. She has values and is not afraid to take a stand, even if she has to stand alone to represent all the people. She listens closely to the public's questions and concerns and then makes a decision.

Her leadership and commitment to serving the City of Mount Rainier, Maryland are known far and wide. We need more leaders that represent all of the people all of the time! Amber Waller, former School Board Representative, Former member of the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee, and currently president of Eighth Precinct Civic Association.

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.
