Krause seeks to return to council
One of the longest-serving incumbents in this year’s municipal/ school district elections is once again seeking a seat at the table.
Murry Krause announced on Tuesday that he will once again vie for a position on Prince George’s city council.
“It has been a great honour to have served the citizens of Prince George for six terms on city council, and I want to officially announce that I will be seeking a seventh term in the upcoming local government elections,” Krause said in an email.
“I believe I have worked diligently on behalf of all of our citizens, through my active participation at council meetings, and with the leadership role I have played on a number of city committees,” he added.
He said it was important, in his view, for multiple perspectives, opinions and balance to be a prevailing reality in the local government dialogue. He valued those touchstones of civil discourse.
“Councils need to work in a spirit of collegiality, respect and honesty with their colleagues and the entire staff team to accomplish council’s goals,” he said. “I truly believe every citizen matters and should have an equal opportunity to be a participant in a healthy, vibrant, and inclusive community – a community where everyone has a chance to thrive. I am particularly excited by what has been accomplished in this past term. I look forward to what the next four years bring, and the role I could play in our community’s future.”
