Rockville gives all the candidates a chance to file an official candidate statement they will then publish on the website and put in publications like Rockville Reports. I thought I would share mine with you as soon as I submitted it.

I'm Barry Jackson. I’m your neighbor, friend, and a proud member of our community and I’m running to be your voice on the city council. I’ve lived in Rockville for nearly 20 years with my wife and two daughters. I have years of experience leading the King Farm Citizens Assembly, working with Rockville’s senior community through the Neighborhood Villages, and working for legislative change at the American Cancer Society, Lance Armstrong Foundation and AARP. I’m also a Community Gardener. In summer, my family is at the pool, swimming for the King Farm Swim Team.
Our city council will soon lose many of its most seasoned members. We need a councilmember who knows our community, the issues, and how to get things done. I have a proven track record of bringing people together, and I’m ready to bring that leadership to the council.
There’s so much on the line for Rockville. Whether its supporting local schools, investing in public and pedestrian safety, or protecting our neighborhood businesses, there’s a lot of work to do and I’m ready to do it.
I will help make our neighborhoods and schools safe. I’ll work to make sure people don’t spend their entire paycheck on housing. And I will fight for smart growth that fits our future needs.
I know I can’t do this alone. I will work with the residents of every neighborhood to bring Rockville together.
This November, I ask that you vote for proven leadership and real results. Learn more at VoteBarryJackson.com.
Please forward it around to anyone you know who is interested in the Rockville elections. I hope to engage with others, answer questions and learn more about issues and concerns in Rockville.
Don't hesitate to contact me. I enjoy hearing from you and your ideas.
