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.

After More Than Three Months Election for Ward 2 Vacancy Announced!

After the resignation of former Councilmember Scott Cecil in October 2021, Mount Rainier's Mayor and Council finally posted the Ward 2 vacancy.

However, the notice does not provide information on how interested applicants should apply or any procedures to become a candidate for the Ward 2 vacancy.

If you are anyone you know is interested in representing Ward 2 please reach out to the Board of Elections supervisor, the Honorable Nicole Logan, Ophelia Baxter, Mario Cisnero, or any other member of the Board of Elections. You may get their contact information by calling Mount Rainier City Hall, at 301-985-6585.

Ward 2 deserves full representation on the Mount Rainier City Council and has gone without that representation for more than three (3) months.

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.
