About Patrick Mara 
Scandals have rattled the District, but that hasn't stopped me from being a leading voice for Education Reform. I’ll help restore integrity to the Council and get us focused on real priorities.
On April 23rd, voters can send a message about which direction they want our government to go. I promise to lead, not follow. I promise to fight the special interests and old guard cronies who impede progress, abuse the system and steal our tax dollars. Above all, I promise to build a better D.C. with the best schools in America and a thriving local economy.
Don't give up on District government. Change it.
