Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a son, uncle, and nephew. I'm a Prince Georges County native. I have my Bachelor's in Accounting, Economics, and Finance. My professional background covers Federal, State, and Non-profit balancing budgets and creating fiscal policies. Outside of work I'm an everyday person who enjoys football, and good music. I also deal with everyday problems. The cost to put gas in my car has gone up, and my trip to the grocery store has gone up too. I'm stepping up using my education and understanding of everyday people to run a campaign focusing solely on the community and the people in it. My professional background covers Federal, State, and Non-profit balancing budgets and creating fiscal policies.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I'm focusing on you the people and your everyday problems. I'm working on bringing the cost down of everyday necessities.
• Everybody Matters- I make polices and decisions to include all
• Gaining Access- I'm going to fight to allow new doors to open. This includes free community college, affordable healthcare, and programs for the youth.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The economy is at the top of my list. It is so overbearing right now that it has affected us all. All economic indicators are going off such as CPI, Mortage Rates, and slow wage growth. I bring a unique perspective to the topic of the economy because of my education and first-hand accounts. We need someone who can create new streams of revenue, make cooperations, and the wealthy pay their fair share to help fund new programs for the youth.

The economy is so critical to fix right now because it has direct ties to other aspects of life such as education, crime, and poverty. Looking across at other economies, when the economy is doing good so are those others aspects of life. We fix the economy and we can clean up a lot of others issues facing the community.
