Dear Neighbor,

I’m honored to call Takoma Park my home because of our diversity and activist spirit.  I am running for city council because I want to work with you to take our ward and city to the next level.

I urge you to explore my site and get to know me. If there is anything else you want to know, ask me. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting out in to the community to meet my neighbors, and listen to the great ideas on how to improve the community we all live in.

I am running because of my three priorities:

• Bringing our neighbors together. 
• I will fight to protect Sligo Creek. 
• I will work to preserve health and wellness options at Washington Adventist Hospital.  

I have worked on the important issues facing our community and I am asking for your support to continue that work on the city council. As a homeowner on Roanoke, I regularly see the best and worst our community has to offer each day as I walk to and from Metro. I know the potential of the Flower Avenue streetscape. I have witnessed pedestrian safety issues at Sligo and Kennebec. I know the challenges of truly “living” our diversity.

I have also seen the power of a ‘can do’ attitude. I know that, working together, our challenges can become opportunities. I am asking for your vote on July 17.

Together we can set a new course for Ward 5. Vote for Jarrett K. Smith for City Council.

Warmest Regards,
