What do you love about Flint?
RM: The amazing potential that it has under the right leadership.

What would you like to see change in Flint?
RM: The Flint River should be known as a river and not a line of division between blacks and whites in this city. Flint will never take a progressive direction until we remove the race blindfold and realize that we all have one common goal: to rebuild Flint and make it a beacon of hope in Michigan.

What is your favorite spot in Flint for lunch?
RM: Tom Z’s, before the fire. Now I’m brown baggin’ it (Tom hurry it up, and go back to your old 24/7 hours, please).

The last good book that you read was:
RM: Collected Novellas by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

What are your future plans?
RM: I want to finish my education, gain experience in public service around the country, and come back to Flint and run for public office. I believe that this plan has already been dubbed “The Walling Plan”.
