| Collapse all
I'm a Dulaney High School Alum, A Jacksonville Firefighter, Hold a Masters in Counterterrorism and Homeland Security, and spent the last four years working for State Senator Chris West. I know how to protect and serve at home and in Annapolis.
I'm running for the Maryland House of Delegates to: -Lower Taxes -Fight the MPRP -Support our First Responders -Fight Gun Control
-Push for Practical Energy Solutions- No Maryland State Senator is under 35. 8 of the 139 State Delegates are 20-34. Young people deserve a voice in Annapolis! As your Delegate, I will use my age and platform to bring Gen Z and Gen Alpha into politics and the conservative movement. If we do not get the next generation involved we will never break the Democrat supermajority.
- Anyone can say they support first responders. It's another thing to be one. I will be a champion of first responders in Annapolis because I know what they deal with everyday. Anything they need, I will not stop fighting for!
- Maryland Doesn't have a revenue problem. Maryland has a spending problem. As your Delegate, I will NEVER vote for an unbalanced budget or to raise taxes or fees. I will also introduce legislation to reduce taxes and give Marylanders greater say in how our budget is used.

State Senator JB Jennings
Former Ambassador Ellen Sauerbrey
Baltimore County Councilman David Marks
