Why should voters elect you?
"My record in government clearly demonstrates that I place families first. Whether it's getting behind our kids to ensure education dollars go into the classroom, creating a safety net for our seniors, or supporting small businesses, working families are my first priority. Whether it's supporting community after-school programs to keep our kids out of trouble or funding more police officers on our streets, working families are my first priority. While protecting our families and keeping our local economy strong, I have withstood intense pressure from big-money interests. I have the determination and perseverance to continue representing our community in Annapolis."
