We have a new mayor’s office liaison (MOCR) for Ward 5. Lacy Davis recently joined the Ward 5 MOCR team with Christian Starghill.

MOCRS are community outreach specialists typically seen at community meetings. They are helpful when residents need assistance with District agencies. Some issues can be resolved through submission of 311 service requests, so it is helpful to submit a 311 request first and then follow up with the MOCRs if the issue is not resolved satisfactorily. MOCRS can work long hours and in my experience they are usually quite patient and pleasant to work with.

Below is contact information for the Ward 4 and Ward 5 MOCRS.
