Why should voters elect you?
"As Howard County's first woman senator, I have a reputation as a hard worker, adept at building consensus and working with colleagues from both parties."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"I feel that the most urgent issue facing my jurisdiction is affordability. Residents appreciate that they have a wonderful quality of life. Many question whether or not they can afford to continue living in the location they love. Property values and property taxes, combined with other cost increases, make it difficult, and sometimes impossible, for first-time home buyers as well as lifelong residents to live in Howard County."
