Why should voters elect you?
"I will continue my efforts to improve our schools, protect private property rights, strive for more government accountability and advocate for greater individual freedom."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Fixing Maryland's failing schools. Unfortunately, the Democratic monopoly in Annapolis prevented the state Board of Education from coming to the aid of Baltimore city students. Baltimore has the second worst graduation rate in the nation. Most, if not all, of the Baltimore schools fail the Maryland State Assessment tests. Despite Gov. Ehrlich's efforts to support the state board, the Democrats voted to keep the Baltimore students in a failed system. This issue is important to Howard County because these students deserve better, and over $300 from each Maryland family goes to fund the Baltimore schools."
