msdennis001@earthlink.net
Candidate for City Council District 2 | A native Marylander Monroe finished high school in Worcester County, Maryland. He finished college in Baltimore having earned a B.S. degree in Mathematics. He has been employed as a federal employee and served two years in the US Army. Since, Dennis has retired from the IBM Company, and from Group1/Pitney Bowes Software. Dennis re-established residency in College Park in the mid-1990’s and soon after engaged with the Lakeland Civic Association (LCA) and other neighborhood advocacy groups such as the Lakeland Community Heritage Project (LCHP). He has served as LCA president for more than six terms. During his LCA time, Dennis had interacted with City Staff, and Mayor and Council to accomplish a number of initiatives, and considers his ability to grasp the big picture, and to work through details with all stakeholders to arrive at amicable end-results as an asset that will serve well in the future. Many of these interactions and engagements led community residents to “draft” him for Council candidacy. Seeking another Council term – potentially his fifth - Dennis expects to continue to enhance relationships among Council members, constituents, and tackle all quality-of-life, public safety, and other day-to-day issues facing the Mayor and City Council. |

Candidate for City Council District 2
| I am a long-life resident of Maryland, growing up in Beltsville before moving to College Park in 1973. A graduate from High Point HS and like many, I worked my way through college. I was a member of the UMd. wrestling team and created PGCC’s first Annual Community Square Dance. My thirty-five-year corporate accounting and finance profession in various industries, include banking, telecommunications, information technologies, national security, health and environment, labor unions, non-profits and government contracting, give me a unique edge in dealing with a variety of issues and solutions. I bring a well-developed customer service centered focus to City Hall. Most of our neighbors in Lakeland, Berwyn, Branchville, Oak Springs and our seniors at Attick Towers, do not feel heard. We are now ready to change that. I fight to put real tax money back in the pockets of homeowners while maintaining the high quality of city services, incentivize not penalize all our residents, push for our environment and safety, and ensure our children enjoy new playground equipment, not hand-me-downs. The foundation of College Park lies within each amazing neighborhood, and the public servants that help them every day. My number one priority is “Put Our Neighborhoods First” |
