  • Protect our Citizens and First Responders’ Mental Health
  • Restore freedom of speech to our schools and universities
  • Stop Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats from Further Destruction of our Economy
I am passionate about public safety. As a former police officer, injured in the line of duty, I support disbanding the Baltimore Police Department due to failed leadership.

I am a trained economist and I have long argued and taught that inflation is the leading cause of war in modern history (see post WWII Germany).

My students at the University of Maryland are scared to speak their minds for fear of getting cancelled by the progressive Marxist faculty members they have at the University. UMD president Daryl Pines has cultivated a culture of fear amongst UMD students.
I am a professor. I read enormous amounts of literature in economics, leadership, negotiations, and entrepreneurship. I list to the Jocko podcast and Darryl Cooper’s Martrymade podcast. I have been in school for thirty years, but am also a tech entrepreneur. I help a Top Secret/SCI clearance for my interactions with the Department of Defense. I love to read Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged is a favorite book of mine, second only to The Bible.
Ronald Reagan’s prime time speeches. I remember the Challenger explosion like it was yesterday!
I was a fried chicken cook at Hardee’s when I was 14. I left to wash dishes at the Manor Tavern
The Bible. I love Jesus with all my heart and soul. I love all people, regardless of race, color, creed.
John Galt from Atlas Shrugged. As a tech entrepreneur, I identify with that character walking away.
Streets of Philadelphia. Reminds me of our once beautiful Baltimore,
I have struggled with mental health issues in my family.
Leadership skills and negotiating skills are paramount.I ran the Maryland Department of Health as Deputy Secretary with a budget of $13 billion and 8,500 people. I have had the some of the same satff for over 20 years. I love my team and will have the best run office on the Hill.
Yes, but not career party politicians! My opponent has been in office for 28 years and Baltimore is in shambles. It’s time for a change.
Inflation, public safety, Baltimore failed school system, police department, and states attorneys office.
Politicians make term limit promises all the time and then break them when they fall in love with the office. I did one term in elected office when I was 23. I have very little tolerance for party politics or corrupt elected officials who lie. I don’t believe that term limits will ever happen.
Here is a cheesy Terp joke. Why did the turtle cross the road? She couldn’t because of the traffic in College Park!
Absolutely. Reagan taught us this. I believe in Reagan’s 11th Commandment as well, unless a Republican lies. Political liars lose my support immediately. I have been lucky to serve two excellent Maryland Governors, Bob Ehrlich and Larry Hogan. I am a very independent Republican and am not beholden to the RNC or NRCC. I won’t blindly follow GOP leadership off a cliff.
