Why should voters elect you?
"As a native of Montgomery County and homeowner, I see problems, but I'm eager to work toward solutions. I have a fresh perspective."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Commuting is a major problem for all Beltway communities. We must enhance our roadway infrastructure and look at other transit projects to ease the congestion in our area. Education is the foundation of a strong democracy. Our state needs quality education, but I want tax dollars spent on education to be used in the classroom. It is important that we guard and enhance our infrastructure, furnish high-quality education to all, provide a healthy, safe and clean environment, keep jobs in the state and do it all efficiently without cost overruns to the taxpayer."
