Angelia Rice ANC 6A01

I am running for 6A-01 ANC Commissioner as a member of the Democratic Party.  I believe that our community is an excellent example of the American dream.  Our community is diverse, educated and ready to set the pace for all of DC residents.

My campaign is simply this “Building a community that everyone would be proud to call HOME”!

Help to keep our neighborhood safe and clean,

Optimize community communications (keeping you in the KNOW),

Maintain a partnership with city council to ensure our concerns are addressed,

Establish educational excellence (Good Schools) in our neighborhoods.

I decided to run for the 6A-1 ANC Commissioner, to facilitate change in our community.  During the past 3 years the H Street corridor has seen many improvements.  However, I have been the victim of car thief and several of my neighbors have experience break-ins and other crimes.  Helping to keep our community safe is my first priority.  Secondly I would like to improve communications by keeping my community “In the Know”.  I have learned more in these past few weeks going door to door than all of the blogs put together.  An informed community is a powerful community.  Thirdly I will maintain a partnership with city council to ensure that our concerns are heard and addressed.  Finally, I am advocate of good education.  I will support our schools to ensure our children are the leaders of tomorrow.
