Economy is key, and retaining maryland residents for generations is crucial. I will work within the legislature to reduce taxes. I support the repeal of the inflation tax as Marylanders are suffering at greater levels than other states. Lowering taxes for retirees, military, and first responders will ensure Maryland families can remain in our great state. I will fight to secure a higher return on our Charles County tax dollars.

Education is critical and Parents have the right to ensure the best education for their child. We must immediately address the loss of learning, sinking math & literacy rates, violence, and mismanaged funding that leaves our students and valuable teachers lacking.

Crime must be met with stiff consequences and criminals, especially violent and repeat offenders, must be taken off the streets. Without safe streets, we lose our communities. We can do this while addressing mental health and rehabilitation for those whose behavior warrants it. I support the police and believe we can meet the balance of law enforcement and accountability.
I am a strong advocate of policies that protect the safety of Women and Children.
