Personal Endorsement
“As I have previously indicated I will not be running again to represent 3G-05. Be that as it may, I have known Connie Chang, who is running, for most of the 17 years my wife and I have lived in Chevy Chase and I feel very fortunate that Connie will be 3G-05’s new Commissioner. Her work and energy speak volumes and 3G-05 will have fantastic representation.” — former ANC 3/4G-05 Commissioner, Jerry Malitz, quoted in his October 2020 edition of Chevy Chase News & Notes here.
