Fazlul Kabir is always eager to find ways to improve our community, and he ALWAYS puts resident concerns first. It is difficult to imagine a more dedicated or more effective City Councilmember. Fazlul has earned the vote of every resident of District 1.
I've lived in the Maryland suburbs for almost 50 years and have never experienced a more responsive, helpful, and informed local representative than Fazlul Kabir. Mr Kabir keeps the community informed via his daily blog, his contributions to local websites, and his e-mail notices. I'm very proud to endorse Mr. Kabir in his campaign to continue serving our community. 
Fazlul's integrity and balanced views have consistently been demonstrated in both action and deed with his visible and steadfast advocacy for the community at large. I am proud that he represents District 1 and will continue to do so.
Fazlul Kabir has been more supportive of the needs of District 1 in College Park than any other person on the entire council. In fact, he has been more supportive to District 1 than the entire rest of the council combined. Problems big or small, he has always been there to support the neighborhood. Whether it be issues with the contract police, stop signs, trash pickup, new construction, crime, he is always looking out for his district. My issue was parking, and through it all, he was there for us, and managed to get the council to approve parking restrictions the neighborhood needed. Without him it would never have happened. Thank you Fazlul Kabir.
Fazlul listens and communicates well. He is quick to notify his constituents of issues and updates, and is responsive to inquiries. We will benefit from his being re-elected. 
As council member for District 1, Fazlul Kabir has been both actively and tirelessly serving our community. Overall, Fazlul is concerned about the community’s safety; he keeps the district well informed on city council affairs and city changes; and, he was a prominent figure in establishing the Hollywood Farmers Market. If re-elected, Kabir will continue serving to bring forward positive changes to both District 1 and the local College Park community.. 
I’ve worked closely with Fazlul during the first season of the Hollywood Farmers’ Market. He is very committed to our community, and he shows it by using his leadership skills to make positive things happen—and usually with a smile on his face.. 
The most financially reckless decision that the College Park City Council has made in many years was to turn over our employee pension system to the same kind of dessert-now, spinach-later scheme that has helped bankrupt Detroit and is threatening to bankrupt Chicago. Fazlul Kabir opposed that decision and deserves support for standing for long-term responsibility in governing this community 
Fazlul is the person who developed and made north College Park Farmers Market a success. He works tirelessly to help the resident solve their problems with the city. I am thankful to have him as a councilman and hope that he keeps on going.
I must admit, I was skeptical at first, but Fazlul has truly proved himself in his nourishment of a unified local community spirit. He has worked tirelessly to complete all the details of making a vibrant farmer's market happen. This market, vendors and customers is a warm spot in many people's hearts. He is also diligent in reporting crime events and other neighborhood news.
Fazlul Kabir is an asset to our community. Fazlul is very proactive in all elements of quality of life affecting our city. He is a very dedicated individual and I will strongly support him for public office.
Fazlul's level of service goes above and beyond the normal image of people in government. I feel I am counted in as a resident of north College Park because of Fazlul. He treats me and others as though we are his friends. That's as close to being family as one could hope for. God bless Fazlul! He has my vote without hesitation"Patagonia Theme designed by Wp Themes Planet and proudly powered by WordPress Paid and authorized by Fazlul Kabir, Candidate
