Chris Delaporte, “The Park Advocate,” Baltimore

Adam is the new type of leader Baltimore needs on the City Council! He stands for the right things; he has demonstrated his commitment to giving back to his hometown and making his work socially relevant. He has the brains to look at a situation, investigate options, and ultimately make decisions that will look after our interests - plus he’s in no one’s pocket!

Concerning our parks and green spaces, Adam is well on his way to becoming a “Park Advocate” himself! He knows that it is time to turn our attention to maintaining our parks and doing it in a thorough and comprehensive fashion - only then can our parks once again be repopulated and made the democratic, open, and inviting places they should be for all Baltimoreans.

“Adam’s love of Baltimore and all its citizens is unmatched. He will bring an endless supply of energy, creativity, and passion to City Council. Adam’s on the street experience in every neighborhood of the 11th District gives him the perfect skill-set for the job.”

-Harvey Schwartz, Founder of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore

Adam Meister Receives the Endorsement of the Washington Village Developers Association

11th Councilmanic District Candidate Gains key support in historic “Pigtown”

Baltimore, MD – February 12, 2007

Adam Meister, Democratic candidate for Baltimore City’s 11th District City Council seat earned the endorsement of the Washington Village Developers Association on Monday.

“Adam Meister supports Pigtown like no other City Council candidate and once elected Adam will skillfully represent the 11th District,” said Washington Village Developers Association President Dan Cosgrove.

The Washington Village Developers Association has recently increased its role in the Pigtown community by organizing weekly community clean-ups every Saturday since October, 2006. Adam Meister regularly pitches in during these clean-ups and contributed to their increased efficiency by recommending a Baltimore City sanitation truck be onsite to remove even more trash. With use of the truck, over ten tons of trash were collected and disposed of in just one day.

“Pigtown, like Reservoir Hill and many other Baltimore neighborhoods, suffers from drug and crime problems and these clean-ups enhance residents’ quality of life. Repeatedly, I’ve organized similar clean-ups in Reservoir Hill and as a member of the City Council I will continue to get my hands dirty in an effort to rejuvenate our neighborhoods. I am proud to have the support of the people of Pigtown and I am eager to represent them and the entire 11th District as a member of the Baltimore City Council,” said Meister.

Adam Meister became the first candidate to file for any Baltimore City Council race on January 29, 2007. He has a growing network of support throughout the district and plans to organize additional clean-ups and community beautification activities in the coming months.
