Why should voters elect you?

"We need a delegate who will work with, not obstruct, Gov. Ehrlich in serving Maryland's citizens and businesses in a fiscally and socially responsible manner."

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

"The building block of society is marriage between one man and one woman, and it is under siege! Our current delegates made sure that you wouldn't have the chance to support marriage with your votes in a referendum, choosing instead to hide behind the robe of a single, liberal judge who should have recused herself because of her past support for same-sex unions. Don't let them get away with their attempt to make Maryland the next Massachusetts! Take the issue to referendum by sending me to Annapolis to voice your support for God's unchanging design for marriage."
