Why should voters elect you?
"I can be depended on to be an advocate of our entire community, setting aside partisan politics for what is best for District 39."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Urban sprawl is creating a crisis in our community. The developers continue to build and there is little or no planning with regard to the impact these developments have on our transportation infrastructure. The result is obvious to anyone that travels I-270 on a daily basis. We need to build the Corridor Cities Transitway to help relieve this congestion. This sprawl requires new schools, forcing the county to delay much-needed improvements to existing schools and extending the time our children spend in the 720-plus trailer classrooms. The county cannot be relied upon to protect Marylanders against this overdevelopment."
