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.

Mayors Have the Right to ACT on Behalf of THEIR RESIDENTS

Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mayor of Atlanta, a member of DeltaSigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, a Black woman, and a mayor is currently being sued by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to pre-empt her city-wide mandate on wearing masks. This past Thursday, the Governor filed an injunction motion to prevent Mayor Bottoms from speaking to the press regarding this matter.

I am asking the Maryland Mayors to stand with Mayor Bottoms and support her as she defends these legal maneuvering.

Let's make this social media campaign: “I oppose Governor Kemp’s lawsuit and motion to silence Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms from keeping the people of Atlanta safe. We call upon Fulton County Superior Court to decide that Mayor Bottoms is being singled out amongst other mayors in Georgia with similar mandates and deny the Governor’s request.” Governor Kemp, Fulton County Superior Court and Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms all have social media pages on FB, IG, and Twitter. We ask that you tag all three when posting.

Please copy and post on all of your social media NOW!

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.
