I had a brief involvement in local politics, particulary in Baltimore City / State of Maryland around 2007-2014. I also served as a Board member (2011-2014) of the Fallstaff Improvement Association, a local neighbourhood association covering Northwest Baltimore and I used to also maintain their website.
Here is a list of articles published by others, that either mention or quote me in some fashion, politics related:
