Why should voters elect you?
"I will go to Annapolis to do the job of a legislator and not to play politics and promote pet issues and projects."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Without question the most urgent issue facing our county is classroom education. Our county continues to see a population explosion. Thousands of new students will be enrolled in our public schools. There will be substantial pressure to build new schools, renovate schools and redistrict school boundaries. My district covers many of the oldest, most established communities in the county. Many schools have been waiting for renovations for many years, and a recent study recommends completely replacing some schools in my district. The state representatives we elect must provide our district with the support to fairly provide for our schools/students."
