I\u2019ve served our Town for over 12 years on the Town Council and in a dozen different volunteer roles! I&#8217;m running for Mayor because we still have work to do to make Cheverly the Town that drew us all here \u2013 a safe, healthy, walkable community where neighbors know each other and look out for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">A native Marylander, I work for the federal government and have previously worked for a County Council Member in Upper Marlboro and a State Delegate in Annapolis. As a former president and board member of our County municipal association, I understand how to leverage our Federal, State, and County partners to improve Cheverly and get you the services that you need. In Town, I\u2019m a long-time leader in our Boy Scout Troop, I\u2019m an officer in our Sons of the American Legion squadron, and I\u2019m a past co-chair of Cheverly Day and Spellman PTA board member.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"430\" src=\"http:\/\/www.micahwatson.com\/for_mayor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Micah-townpark.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.micahwatson.com\/for_mayor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Micah-townpark.jpg 990w, https:\/\/www.micahwatson.com\/for_mayor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Micah-townpark-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.micahwatson.com\/for_mayor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Micah-townpark-768x334.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife Kim and I moved to Cheverly in 2002 and we\u2019ve raised two sons here.
