Thanks For Your Support
- by Councilman-Elect David Marks  (R -5) -


I would like to thank all those who supported me in my race for the Baltimore County Council from the 5th District.
I also thank Mike Ertel for his many years of service to the Towson area. Mike sacrificed a great deal of time to seek this office, as did Gordon Harden and Bill Paulshock, who I also commend for their interest in serving the people of Baltimore County.
Baltimore County is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.  Moving forward, however, the next county government faces very difficult fiscal challenges.  I pledge to work with County Executive-Elect Kamenetz and the other Councilmembers to steer the county out of the recession in a way that avoids tax increases.
As I mentioned during the campaign, we need to focus right now on those things that can improve county government without spending a lot of money. I’ll be working to make government more open and transparent.
I also hope to start a dialogue with community leaders on short-term improvements for specific neighborhoods, including those in Parkville and Perry Hall.
During the campaign, I pledged to work across party lines to develop solutions to these challenges, and that will be my focus as your County Councilman.  Thank you again for the confidence you placed in me.
