There for you!

Re-elect

Carol Schwartz

Council (at-large)

I love this city and I am devoted to its people. That's why I have past 35 years working to make the District of Columbia a bets whether in public life or on my own as a volunteer with worthy organizations.

When my three kids were in DC public schools, I served on the Board Education from 1974-82. Student test scores improved and back-to-basics policies were implemented. During my first term on the Council (1985-89) I was described as a "lone voice of fiscal restraint" because I spoke out - and voted - against the bloated budgets and rampant spending. Since returning to an at-large Council seat in 1997, I have worked hard to fix what was broken and to ensure that our city delivers reliable and efficient services remaining steadfastly on the road to recovery.

I have been accessible and responsive throughout my years in elected office. I have never shied away from the tough decisions. I bring a record of strong ethical principles and no patience for anything less. And I bring what I believe to be a well-deserved reputation for being open minded and straightforward. These are characteristics you can continue to expect from me if I am re-elected to the Council. I hope that you will keep me there for you for another four years.
