I have known Dr. Janet Siddiqui and her wonderful family for 12 years.  She has been a dedicated public servant with a passion for education having served on the county’s board of education and has been an strong advocate for school safety, health and affordable housing.  Dr. Siddiqui has stood up for diversity and inclusion and has supported LGBT rights—an issue that is particularly important to me.  She is very qualified to serve on the Howard  County Council and represent my husband and me in District 4.
