Democratic At Large Candidate for Frederick County Maryland.

Talking with Tim and Frank about a variety of county related issues.;

Justin Kiska is an at-large candidate for Frederick County Council. The primary election is June 24. For the last 12 years, I have been in a position where I have had to make difficult decisions at times. I have been the executive of a company in an industry that, on a good day, is tough to survive in. The economic downturn of the last several years hit the entertainment industry very hard, and theaters across the country, including right here in the National Capital Region, were forced to close their doors. I am proud to say that Way Off Broadway, my family’s company, not only emerged from the economic crisis, but is stronger and better off because of it. Adaptability, creative problem solving, and being willing to make tough decisions for the good of the organization as a whole, are valuable lessons I learned through hands on experience; experience not everyone is fortunate enough to have.
