Told the council that living in Ocean City is the most important qualification for running for office, and praised the council for holding evening meetings open to the public.

Argued existing laws already work, asked the council to expand required documentation for candidates, make it easier to remove an elected official, and reconsider the rental-license prohibition as unreasonable.
