Why should voters elect you?
"My expertise and experience are in health care. My goal is to bring meaningful, affordable health care to all Marylanders."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent problem facing Howard County has been and continues to be growth, and the good and bad things that come with it. The impacts of the BRAC (base realignment and closure) will expand Fort Meade's workforce and ensure continued pressure on all levels of government to provide quality schools, safe and cohesive neighborhoods, adequate transportation, affordable housing and services to the citizens of Howard County as well as the region. I will continue working to keep it a wonderful place to live and raise a family."
