Personal Comments and Observations:
    “The most successful political leaders never forget their roots and the people who have helped them along the road to success and accomplishment.  I have never felt as though I had to limit my sense of community spirit and service to causes and concerns associated only with the 24th Legislative District.
“People want clear direction and leadership.  They want solutions and answers to their problems and needs.  During the Broadwater Administration, people got those things.  They enjoyed delivery on a promise.
“People want their fair share of the American Dream.  They want their communities upwardly mobile.  I have always tried to be a servant of the people.
“The Washington Post newspaper once said that Tommie Broadwater is the ‘longtime voice for working class blacks in the county.’  I’d like to think that while I served in the Maryland Senate, I was the type of senator who delivered on a promise.
“As the first black senator elected outside of Baltimore, Maryland, in the state of Maryland, I served as a trailblazer and pioneer, and in doing so, carved a path of opportunity for other black hopefuls to enter the political arena as candidates in the process; and I led the fight to galvanize the black and white communities toward working together in order to reach common goals and objectives for their respective communities and in politics as well.”
