Why should voters elect you?

"We have maintained services while keeping taxes down. We still need to reduce the estate tax, preserve property rights and keep marriage."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

"With the influx of new jobs at Fort Meade comes the challenge of making sure that the necessary infrastructure is in place in time: schools, roads, water and sewage.
