Why should voters elect you? "I have a military leadership background, can work harder and can beat the current incumbent congressman in the November general election."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction? "The economy of Western Maryland counties and job retention are the paramount issues facing the people. Coupled with this are the fallout problems of pensions, Social Security, health benefits and increasing taxes, which take away available income."
