Why should voters elect you?
"I will bring needed diversity, common sense, a proven track record for problem solving and real world experience to the House of Delegates."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent problem facing District 19 is the ever-increasing cost of living in Montgomery County, which challenges all families but is especially difficult for lower- and middle-income residents. The high cost of living is driven by ever-increasing taxes required to pay for ever-expanding government, an overheated housing market, soaring property taxes, skyrocketing health care cost and the high cost of energy."
