 Stephen A.
Brayman Mayor
7604 Sweetbriar Drive
College Park, Maryland 20740
301-345-2547 |

Stephen A. Brayman
Mayor
Steve resides in the College Park Estates
neighborhood with his wife Marie and their 2 daughters. First elected to
the City Council in November 1997, Steve previously served the community as
president of the College Park Estates Citizens Association, Focus Group member
and active participant in the College Park-Riverdale TDOZ zoning process.
Steve has a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a
Master of Education in Industrial Technology from the University of Maryland
College Park. Additionally, he has over 13 years of experience working for the
City of Rockville as the Safety & Risk Management Administrator. This
experience combined with Steve’s service to the City gives him almost 19 years
of municipal government experience. Steve likes to think that his
relationship with the University of Maryland, his experience as a municipal
employee and his involvement with the community helps to bring valuable insight
to City decision-making.
During Steve’s term as Mayor, he has brought
assertive and effective leadership to the City. Steve has been successful
in improving the City’s relationship with both state and county representatives.
He plans to continue to bring new ideas and new approaches to old problems
through teamwork, a positive attitude, identifying priorities, utilizing the
talents of the Council and developing effective strategies to obtain goals.
Additionally, Steve plans to continue to lobby the State for more local zoning
authority and funding for the rebuilding of Route One. Route One is the
City’s biggest public safety hazard and a rebuilt highway has the chance to
significantly improve pedestrian safety, help to correct a dysfunctional traffic
pattern and complement the new development that is planned along the City’s Main
Street.

Jonathan R . Molinatto
Councilmember, District 1
Jonathan Molinatto, 26, a mathematician and computer scientist for
the federal government since 2003, has lived in College Park since
he and his wife purchased a home in the city in June of 2006. He
graduated with a master's degree in Physics from Johns Hopkins
University in 2007. He earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics
from North Carolina State University in 2003.
Due to both his ongoing relationship with the University of Maryland
for the past 4 years and his time as a homeowner in the city of
College Park, he understands the issues facing the city and also the
views on the issues held by homeowners, renters, and students.
The most pressing issues affecting District 1 are the quality of
protection provided by the police officers assigned to College Park,
especially the slow response times; the volume of traffic and
absence of much-needed speed limit enforcement on Route 1, Rhode
Island Avenue, and neighborhood streets; and managing the proposed
development projects to ensure they are completed with a focus on
moving the city forward while still maintaining quality of life.
"These issues have been problems for many years. It is time for new
ideas and a fresh perspective to solve them. I am running for City
Council because I have a plan for the city; I have a fresh
perspective on what the city means to its residents and what they
would like for it to become."
To read more about Jonathan, his views on these and other issues, or
to contact him with questions or concerns, please visit his website
