MARGIE’S ANSWERS TO A 2024 CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE:
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A RESIDENT OF NORTH MIAMI BEACH?
39 YEARS
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OCCUPATION?
RETIRED MIAMI-DADE COUNTY TEACHER
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR CITY OF NMB COMMISSIONER?
I WANT TO RESTORE LAW & ORDER, ON THE DAIS, AND THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
WHICH SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES DO YOU POSSESS THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO
BEING A SUCCESSFUL COMMISSIONER?
I AM A DEDICATED, LIFE-LONG LEARNER, WITH EXPERTISE IN CRIME PREVENTION. I
SPENT MANY YEARS, WATCHING AND LISTENING, TO EVERY WORD, OF EVERY
SINGLE COUNCIL/COMMISSION WORKSHOP AND MEETING. I POSSESS LEADERSHIP
QUALITIES AND SKILLS. I LOVE, TRUTH, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY,
LOYALTY, AND DEDICATION, IN GOVERNMENT. FAMILY VALUES, AND CORE VALUES,
ARE IMPORTANT TO ME. TENACITY IS ONE OF MY BEST VIRTUES. I AM A FORCE TO
BE RECKONED WITH, AND I NEVER GIVE UP! COMMISSIONERS SHOULD BE
STEWARDS, HELPING ALL 13 NEIGHBORHOODS, TO RESOLVE THEIR UNIQUE
PROBLEMS, ISSUES, AND CONCERNS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE, EVENT/PARTY
PLANNERS. I WOULD NOT ABUSE MY POSITION, OR POWER. NOR, WOULD I ABUSE P
CARDS/CREDIT CARDS, WITH UNNECCESSARY MEMBERSHIPS, TRAVEL, AND
ENTERTAINMENT EVENTS! I AM CONFIDENT THAT I WILL BE A COMMISSIONER,
LEAVING A LEGACY, FOR GENERATIONS TO COME, IN NORTH MIAMI BEACH.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE TOP 3 ISSUES FACING THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI
BEACH?
CRIME & PUBLIC SAFETY, HONESTY & INTEGRITY, A SPLINTERED GROUP OF
CULTURES, NEEDING TO BE BROUGHT TOGETHER, THROUGH ONLY ONE, BIG, (ALL
INCLUSIVE), MULTI-CULTURAL EVENT, PER YEAR! CLOSE 19th AVENUE. EACH
CULTURE REPRESENTED, IS GIVEN ONE TABLE, TO USE FOR DISPLAY OF
COSTUMES, ARTIFACTS, AND FOOD SAMPLES. KIDS WILL TAKE A TRIP, AROUND THE
WORLD!
WHICH OF THE THREE IS MOST URGENT, WHY AND WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION FOR
SOLVING IT?
CRIME AND PUBLIC SAFETY. SINCE 2011, WE HAVE NOT SUPPORTED OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENT. AS A RESULT, WE ARE IN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. A
POPULATION EXPLOSION, AND THE NEW CRIMINAL, ARE SERIOUS THREATS, TO OUR
SAFETY. COPS ARE SUFFERING IN SILENCE! LOTS OF DOLLARS, IS THE ONLY
SOLUTION, TO MAKE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHOLE AGAIN!
ARE THERE ANY CITY ORDINANCES YOU WOULD CHANGE OR REPEAL? IF SO, WHICH
ONES?
MOST OF OUR ORDINANCES ARE OUTDATED, AND OBSOLETE. (EXAMPLE-2017) THEY
SHOULD ALL BE, REVIEWED, REVISED, OR RE-WRITTEN. ADD A MUCH NEEDED,
DAYTIME NOISE ORDINANCE!
WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE VOTERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
MY WEBSITE LOVEFORNMB.COM INFORMS VOTERS, OF ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW.
IF ELECTED, WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH IN YOUR FIRST 100 DAYS?
LEGISLATION, WHICH WOULD STOP THE LAWLESSNESS IN OUR CITY! HELP THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, WITH A STRONG RECRUITMENT/RETENTION STRATEGIC
PLAN, TO RE-BUILD THE DEPARTMENT, AND IMPROVE THE MORALE OF ALL
OFFICERS, AND STAFF! ABOLISH P CARDS/CREDIT CARDS, FOR COMMISSIONERS,
AND REQUIRE DOCTORS’ NOTES, FOR COMMISSIONER ABSENCES! VOTE TO LIMIT
EVENTS, TO ONE, (ALL INCLUSIVE,) MULTI-CULTURAL EVENT, POLICE EVENTS,
CHARITY EVENTS, KIDS EVENTS, SENIOR EVENTS, AND WINTER FEST PARADE ONLY! W.P. HERITAGE DAY IS GRANDFATHERED IN!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
YOU VISITED MY HOME, IN 2018.
WILL YOU COME BACK IN 2024?
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MOST OF YOU, DURING MY
2018 CAMPAIGN.
AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION, I
HAVE MADE AN AGONIZING DECISION.
OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND
FOR OUR MUTUAL HEALTH AND SAFETY, I WILL
NOT BE MAKING HOME VISITS, IN 2024.
YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AT YOUR DOOR,
BUT, I WILL BE THERE, IN SPIRIT!
I SAW YOUR CAMPAIGN SIGNS IN 2011, 2013, 2015, AND 2018.
WHY NOT NOW?
IN 2018, ALL OF MY SIGNS WERE STOLEN,
IN CLEAN SWEEPS, 4 TIMES!
I COULDN'T REPLACE THEM, FAST ENOUGH,
BEFORE THEY WERE STOLEN AGAIN.
SINCE THEY WERE PURCHASED WITH MY OWN
MONEY, AND EVERYONE KNEW THAT,
I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER AGONIZING DECISION,
NOT TO PUT SIGNS OUT IN PUBLIC.
HOWEVER, YOU CAN VIEW ALL 30+ OF MY SIGNS
ON THE 2020 MARGIE'S MAILINGS PAGE OF MY
WEBSITE, LOVEFORNMB.COM
HOW DO YOU KEEP UP WITH CURRENT NMB CITY GOVERNMENT BUSINESS?
VIRTUALLY!
I WATCH ALL NMB CITY GOVERNMENT
COMMISSION MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS,
AND OTHER IMPORTANT MEETINGS;
VIA ZOOM, OR LIVE STREAM ON THE CITY'S
TELEVISION CHANNEL.
I AM READY TO OCCUPY NMB CITY COMMISSION
SEAT #3, EITHER VIRTUALLY, OR IN PERSON.
I MET YOU WHILE YOU WERE CAMPAIGNING AT
YOUR VOTING PRECINCT IN AUGUST AND IN
NOVEMBER, OF 2018.
WILL YOU BE THERE AGAIN, IN 2024?
AFTER CAREFULLY LISTENING TO THE ADVICE OF
HEALTH EXPERTS, I HAD TO WEIGH THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING OUT IN PUBLIC,
PHYSICALLY CAMPAIGNING; AND MY
RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP US BOTH SAFE AND
HEALTHY. I HAD TO MAKE THE CHOICE,
TO PUT LIFE, FIRST.
I PLAN TO ALWAYS LEAD BY EXAMPLE, AND I WILL
BEGIN NOW; BY USING TECHNOLOGY, TO
COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.
AGAIN, WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ME IN PERSON, I AM
ALWAYS WITH YOU, IN SPIRIT.
IN THE FUTURE, I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING
PRESENT, VIRTUALLY, WHENEVER PHYSICAL
CONTACT MAY POTENTIALLY BE, UNSAFE. TO
SERVE YOU WELL, I MUST STAY, WELL!
ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE, CONSIDERING
OUR CHANGING TIMES, AND ARE YOU IN IT, TO WIN IT?
YES, ABSOLUTELY YES!
ALTHOUGH WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING AND LIVING
IN A WHOLE NEW WORLD;
I AM VERY CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO HELP
GOVERN OUR CITY.
ALWAYS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST, AND WITH
SENSITIVITY, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, AND
COMPASSION.
WISHING YOU SAFETY, GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS,
PROSPERITY, PEACE, JOY, LAUGHTER, AND LOVE!
GOD BLESS YOU, ALL!
FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION…
During difficult times, it’s often nice to receive an uplifting message of hope.
