The Anne Arundel County Council has seven members. It takes a majority of four votes to pass any bill, including any bill to protect our environment.

The Anne Arundel Chapter has endorsed six candidates for the County Council. We are confident that, if elected, they will give Annapolis a strong conservation majority on the Council. Now we have to get them elected.

This is the latest in a series of weekly emails that focus on one candidates each week. This week we will introduce you to Amanda Fiedler, the Republican candidate challenging incumbent Michael Peroutka for the Republican nomination in District 5. Mr. Peroutka has the worst record on the environment of any member of the Conty Council. District 5 stretches from Severna Park to the tip of the Broadneck Peninsula. Find your County Council District here.
 
MEET AMANDA FIEDLER

“My family has lived in Anne Arundel County for four generations. After graduating from Broadneck High School, I earned my BA from Salisbury University and went on to a career in media strategy for Republican campaigns across the country. I always knew I would raise my family here so that my three boys would experience all that this community has to offer. I have fond childhood memories of playing in the Severn River, crabbing on our community dock, and hiking through area woods. Our natural resources are one of the reasons our district is such a desired place to raise a family. Preservation of these resources is important to our future.

My campaign evolved from my work in our communities, providing leadership on the issues that impact us most. For years I have testified at the county and state level on various legislation. I serve on two boards at our local hospital, and founded a non-profit that has saved hundreds of lives. I’m a member of our local Chamber of Commerce and serve as PTO President for a school of nearly 800 children. I’m not a career politician.

The County Council decisions impact our lives on a daily basis. I believe we need someone who is engaged with the public, clear in communication and willing to work collaboratively on the issues. My record is one that has all of these important leadership skills.

It’s imperative that we work together to serve our community and ensure tax dollars are working effectively for our common goals and preserving the characteristics of our District that make it such a desirable place to live.

I will work tirelessly to represent District 5, for my family and for yours.”
