Dear neighbor and friends,

I am Talib Karim and I'm asking for your vote and support in my campaign for Hyattsville City Council (Ward 1). 

As background, I am lawyer, engineer, and advocate for innovation jobs and STEM training. I'm also a husband and father of three.  One of our children is a senior at DeMatha High School. 

My family and I have been residents of Hyattsville's Arts District neighborhood for the past four years. Over that time I've worked to build bonds with my neighbors through community clean-ups, neighborhood discussions, and football game viewing parties for his favorite teams. (Smile)

In addition, I helped judge science projects at Hyattsville Elementary's STEM fair. I've also had numerous discussions with city leaders and neighbors about strategies for developing vacant properties along Route 1.    
 

If elected to the Hyattsville City Council,
you could count on me to:

1) Push for increased city services such as improved parking, new parks, and additional retail outlets, particularly along Route One. These services could be funded through attracting tech businesses to a Hyattsville “Innovation District” to complement our city's “Arts District.”

2) Urge the city to invest more in STEM/STEAM education programs to equip our children with skills to prepare them for jobs in our nation's science and tech driven economy.

3) Increase activities designed to bring residents of Hyattsville together to foster a greater sense of community, increase public safety, and inspire a spirit of neighborliness.
