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.
