Why should voters elect you?
My top priority is ensuring that people feel respected by their government. That means listening to constituents and doing your best to meet their needs.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The most urgent needs of Maryland's 3rd District include education, the environment and health care. Our schools should be filled with well-qualified teachers and principals who receive the resources they need. Our natural resources must be preserved and protected. And finally, our health-care system needs to be fixed and expanded so that all people can receive proper coverage.
