Why should voters elect you?
Robert Joseph Banks will bring common sense, perseverance, a level head and a hard work ethic to the 111th Congress.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The 1st District of Maryland is plagued by excessive taxation. As your next congressman, I vow never to cast a single vote to raise taxes for any Marylander. In addition, I will use any influence that I have to lobby Maryland state officials to reduce state taxes. Additionally, I will fight for fair energy policies to end the 'price gouging' that has been unfairly put on residents of the 1st District from Ocean City to Lutherville and all points in between. As your congressman, I will lead the fight against the power companies to protect our wallets from their abuse!
