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.

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.
