Who I Am and What I Believe

I’m John LeGloahec and I am running to be your Councilmember from Ward 2.  My wife, Marisa, and I moved to Cheverly in 2007 to raise our two boys, Ted and Joe.  We were looking for a close-knit community to raise our family where the residents cared about and knew each other.  We found it here.

We enthusiastically embraced Cheverly from the moment we got here.  We are parishioners at St. Ambrose, where I am part of the Men’s Club and one of the Usher Coordinators of the Hospitality Program.  Marisa helps coordinate the Children’s Liturgy of the Word program.  Ted is in Kindergarten at St. Ambrose School, and as soon as he’s old enough, Joe will toddle along in his footsteps.

I’m also the Treasurer of the Cheverly Swim & Racquet Club (a great Ward 2 asset!), where I’ve been managing the finances there to make sure our pool continues to be financially stable.  Anyone with small children understands the importance of having healthy, fun activities for them, and I work hard to help keep the pool on solid financial ground.

I work as an Archives Specialist at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park.  As an employee of the Federal Government, I understand the need for fiscal responsibility and would work with the Mayor and Council to preserve the good financial health of our Town.

Looking forward, I’d like to improve the Tuxedo Road area.  There are lots of great businesses there, but it doesn’t look like one of the best gateways to Cheverly.  I’d like to get your input as to how we can make that part of town something to be proud of.

I have long believed in the principles of public service and that helping out in one’s community is one of the best ways to help it thrive and expand.   If elected to serve I will be an advocate for all of the residents of Ward 2.  I hope you will support me in the election and vote for John LeGloahec for Town Council on May 2.
