Why should voters elect you?

"I am a conservative who is focused on sound policy and good government, not just on the hot-button issues that make headlines."

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

"Maryland families are being crunched by soaring electricity, gasoline and housing prices. State government should be focused on what can be done to put more money back into the 'family budget.' I am committed to voting against new taxes and new 'fees.' Additionally, Maryland needs to be an alternative energy leader. I want to ensure that Maryland has greater access to 'bio' fuels and is leading the nation in wind, solar and other renewable energy sources. Also, we need to make sure there are affordable housing options for first-time home buyers."
