Why should voters elect you?

"I am the best qualified and have the right position on every issue. I was a federal chief Alabama judge, businessman, journalist, researcher, congressional staffer."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

"The 'squeeze' on the average Maryland family, from high taxes and the increasing cost of living, forcing so many couples into the job market, leaving the children unattended far too often, and without their fathers, especially. I will oppose taxes and will fight for the right to life and for joy even in this world, as promised to us by God and the Constitution. I convinced the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee chairman to abolish the federal personal income tax. I will continue to pursue that goal. Even Democratic U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin agrees with me. Let's do it!"
