Cornell Brooks
the basis of quality schools, Brooks points out, “Loudoun County will not be a magnet for those high-technology companies” if the schools are overcrowded and non-competitive *
Finally, he sees a seat in Congress as a platform from which to promote a Patient’s Bill of Rights.
Wielding federal clout tc help local systems build and staff schools, Brooks wants tc see class size, especially in the early grades, capped at 18 students. “That’s academic bang for the buck.”
His vision of a Patient’s Bill of Rights would ensure emergency room access, and allow patients to appeal an HMO’s medical decisions to s board of medical professionals, not accountants.
Brooks is a fourth-generation ordained minister, and before taking on the challenge of running for Congress preached twice a month at the Turner Memorial A.M.E church in Washington, where is an officer of Communion, teaches ethics and communes the sick.
One of his favorite books, Gutierrez’s “Power of the Poor,” discusses “living your faith, the obligation to exercise your faith in the world.”
