Letter: Ervin knows the community
I am supporting Valerie Ervin for the District 5 county council seat, to succeed Tom Perez, who has endorsed her along with many other orginizations in our community.
Valerie is currently serving on the school board and has been on staff to the county council, so she knows the legislative process,details of the most complex issues, as well all the key players for getting things done.
Valerie has been a Silver Spring resident for 20 years, was president of the PTA, and is a long-time labor and education reform activist, unlike her opponent in ths race who is so new to Maryland never even voted in the state.
Valerie knows what direction we should go in, and she knows what questions to ask to find the best path to get us there.
The bottom line is: Valerie knows our community and our county and will be ready to get to work for us from the first day she’s sworn in.
