Why should voters elect you?
"As a Howard County parent, I am driven by a strategy of inclusion. The time for 'striving for excellence' has passed. Now we must do."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Howard County schools have a reputation of producing excellent graduates, yet many of our children are left behind in the achievement gap. There are programs for the high achievers and the children in special education, yet the 'middle child,' the child in the gap, many times is left without the tools to advance. We must find a way to reach every child so there is truly no child left behind."
