Earlene Clinton on Quantico: ‘There is no effective communication system here’

Earlene Clinton seeks to keep her seat on the Quantico Town Council. 
 
She says the town needs more events, and is in need of a better communication system for the residents. 

Find your polling place

Quantico residents will head to the polls May 3, 2016 to elect new members to the Town Council, and Mayor.
 
We sent a questionnaire to Clinton, and all other candidates seeking office in Quantico. Her responses are below: 

 
PL: Why should Quantico residents be excited to vote for you?
 
Clinton: My purpose in desiring to be a Quantico Town council member is to do anything I can for the people of the town. Create activities and solve problems.
 
PL: In your own words, what is the job description of a Town Council member? What expertise will you bring to the position?

Clinton: I bring a heart for the town as my home and a willingness to do what ever I can to promote Quantico.
 
PL: What are the biggest issues and needs residents of the Town of Quantico? What will you do to address those needs? 
 
Clinton: One of the biggest issues here is a lack of community which I try to address by promoting a Fall Festival and music concerts in the park.
 
PL: Have you ever made any mistakes in your public life? How have they affected you?
 
Clinton: The only mistake I've made is thinking everyone who wants to be on the council is doing it for the people of the town.
 
PL: Do you feel that the average citizen is well informed and understands the workings of town government? If not, how do you intend on improving communication with your constituency? 
 
Clinton: There is no effective communication system here. We post flyers at certain locations but still not everyone sees them. I have a Facebook site called Good Q-Town were I post information but not everyone sees that either. I'm considering a centrally located bulletin board which would help.
