Why should voters elect you?
"I will keep an open mind on all issues; I will communicate with my constituents on a regular basis; I will represent all district residents."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Correcting the 'culture of confrontation' that exists in Annapolis and the State Legislature. My campaign motto is 'compromise, not confrontation.' Along with a Democratic governor I would like to bring civility back to state representative government and focus on the people's business, not partisan politics."
