this Thursday`s C.O.V.E. Ward 5 candidates forum – Kathy Henderson and John Cheeks

C.O.V.E.
http://ward5cove.blogspot.com
Coalition for Voter Empowerment

Is a voter education initiative, sponsored by a coalition of six civic associations of the West End of Ward 5 in Washington, D.C.
Bates, Bloomingdale, Eckington, Edgewood, Hanover, and Stronghold Civic Associations

Mission

C.O.V.E. was established in 2006 as a neighborhood coalition to empower and to educate the citizens of Ward 5 within the said civic association boundaries (who were otherwise left out of major outreach and educational opportunities) about the mayoral and Ward 5 Council electoral process.

C.O.V.E. addresses two major factors:

■The historic neglect of the ``West End`` of Ward 5

■The increasing influx of ``new residents`` to the neighborhood – some that may lack general knowledge about the D C politics and its impact on these communities; and the historical change and needs of Ward 5 in particular.

Invites you to participate in
"Thursdays with the Candidates"

How will the C.O.V.E Forum be different from other forums?
•The C.O.V.E. Forum is NOT a debate. . .
•The C.O.V.E Forum format puts you, the resident, in the driver's seat because
◦It will be the candidates' job interview with you, the voter;
◦The candidates don't fight each other, they answer your questions;
◦The questions from the moderator are designed to address issues not only of importance to Ward 5 as a whole, but specifically, to residents in the western neighborhoods of Ward 5;
◦You will be up-front and personal with the candidate, one-on-one.

Let us hear from you at: http://tinyurl.com/6ucmqax

COMING TONIGHT... March 29th
Meet Ron Magnus @ 7:00 p.m.

The gospel music industry, especially those in DC, are very familiar with Attorney Ron L. Magnus who has long been a champion of gospel music and the gospel community. Now, he is taking steps to affect change within his community. He is running under the banner of "The Leadership Ward 5 Deserves." Ron Magnus has stated that he has chosen to run in order to heal the ward and bring unity to the ward in a time of hurt, disappointment and frustration many feel toward City Hall.

Meet Ruth Marshall @ 8:00 p.m.

"Our Ward faces some challenging issues--some that mirror the city-at-large and others that are unique to us. With massive land areas and unused warehouse spaces, Ward 5 attracts industries and businesses generally not located in other areas of the District. Policies governing industries located in Ward 5 and the current zoning laws need to be carefully reviewed, and I will do that on the City Council. "

Ruth Marshall is Director of Administration for Premier Consultants International, Inc., a construction services firm, with over 25 years of experience in administration, banking, real estate development, construction, and work in the community.

INTERVIEW THE CANDIDATES

Have you heard about the C.O.V.E Candidate Interviews? Who is C.O.V.E., you say? Well, first, C.O.V.E. is a community of neighborhood civic associations who came together to support the idea of having a forum for voters to engage in substantive dialogue with candidates that are running for public office in the District of Columbia.

Over the next several weeks you will have the opportunity to be a part of an interview with many of the leading and not-so-leading candidates for office. This is a critical election year and in today's economy, it's important to be engaged in the process to ensure the city is being governed by competent, committed public servants who understand who they work for.

The COVE interviews are not your typical political debate-style forums -- the gotcha' politics and reporting that is so common today. Instead, C.O.V.E. Candidate Interviews are designed to give the voter an intimate look at the candidate through thoughtful and relevant questions about your neighborhood specifically and the greater Washington community at large.

Already, several candidates have been interviewed and many of the audience members have remarked they have gained new and helpful insights about a candidate which will aid them in their voter decision-making process.

This Wednesday, COVE is offering you another opportunity to meet two front-runner candidates:

Clark Ray, Candidate for At-Large City Council
Kwame Brown, Candidate for Council Chair
Kenyan McDuffie, Candidate for Ward 5 Council.

Come out and check out these two candidates, get answers tob questions you want answered and be informed. Your vote is your power.
