Why should voters elect you?
"If elected, I would restore funding for health care, make our classrooms a safer place for learning and work toward increasing minimum wage."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"I believe the most urgent problem facing my jurisdiction and all of Anne Arundel County is the lack of funding for addiction and mental health treatment. Every family is touched by these diseases either directly or indirectly. Without state funding, citizens of our county will be without these services, which will result in more crime, abuse, domestic violence and suicide. Families will be torn apart, children will need foster care and people will die needlessly."
