Why should voters elect you? "I bring experience, leadership and effectiveness to my work as a senator. I fight successfully every day for the people and communities of Maryland."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction? "In this new century, we must make sure that Maryland and America are safer, stronger, smarter and healthier. We need to make the investments in our economy and people that will lead to greater prosperity, better health care and expanded educational opportunities. At the same time, we must ensure that our nation can meet the challenges of terrorism without undermining our core constitutional protections. Finding the right balance between these challenges and opportunities is the most urgent problem we face."
