Adam Meister is First in City to File for City Council Race

Reservoir Hill Community Leader and Activist Starts Early in Order to Raise Funds
Baltimore, MD – January 30, 2007

Adam Meister (Democrat – 11th District) became the first person to file for any Baltimore City Council race on Monday afternoon as he rides his campaign’s wave of increasing momentum and positive word of mouth.

“Since news of my candidacy spread around Baltimore and beyond, I have received phone calls of well wishes and enthusiastic support from people telling me they are eager to take the 11th District and Baltimore as a whole in a new, positive direction. The fact that we have kicked off the campaign so early is a testament to residents’ desire for dynamic leadership ready to offer a new approach in government – an approach that will improve the quality of life for all City residents.

Meister chose Heritage Crossing activist and resident Denitia Fleming as Treasurer of his campaign. Louis Rouse of Bolton Hill was named Chairman.

With the official filing, potential contributors can begin to send donations and Meister can build his war chest. The first full day of work for Friends of Adam Meister is Tuesday, January 30, 2007, and the campaign has set a high bar for itself. The campaign hopes to raise a significant amount of funds by April. With that money Meister plans to target every section of the diverse district that includes Reservoir Hill, Bolton Hill, Madison Park, Druid Heights, Upton, Harlem Park, Mount Vernon, Heritage Crossing, Seton Hill, Poppleton, Barre Circle, Ridgely’s Delight, Otterbein, North Federal Hill, the Downtown Business District, parts of Sandtown, parts of Penn-North, and parts of Pigtown.

“You are going to see me everywhere,” said Meister, who is known for starting Techbalt.com, a Reservoir Hill based housing initiative, and for jogging at least five miles per day throughout Baltimore. “This campaign is going to be run with a fervor and dedication that befits this great and potentially awesome district.”
