| Collapse all
In the Maryland General Assembly, I serve on the Judiciary Committee and chair the Criminal Law Subcommittee, where I work on policies that promote public safety, accountability, and fairness in our justice system. In 2026, my colleagues elected me Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, the largest Black legislative caucus in the nation, where I help lead efforts to advance equitable policy and expand opportunity across our state. My work has focused on expanding opportunities for small and minority owned businesses, improving transparency in state procurement, supporting responsible criminal justice reforms, and promoting economic development that benefits local communities. I was raised in Baltimore City and Baltimore County and graduated from Woodlawn High School. I earned a degree in accounting from Virginia Union University and a law degree from the University of Maryland Carey School of Law.
I am a man of faith and family married 39 years. I remain committed to building safer communities, expanding opportunity, and ensuring that government works for all Maryland residents. I am running to continue delivering results for District 10.- Delivering Results and Responsible Leadership I believe public service should produce real results. In the General Assembly I have worked to improve public safety, strengthen transparency, and ensure government accountability. I sponsored legislation creating the Board of Public Works Transparency Dashboard, which gives the public greater visibility into major state contracts. As Chair of the Criminal Law Subcommittee and Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, I remain focused on practical solutions that make government more accountable and our communities safer.
- Expanding Opportunity and Economic Growth Economic growth should create opportunity for everyone. I successfully supported legislation increasing the Small Business Reserve procurement goal from 15 percent to 20 percent, expanding access to state contracts for small and minority owned businesses. I have also worked to strengthen Maryland’s procurement system so local entrepreneurs can compete and grow. My focus is building an economy where innovation, entrepreneurship, and fair access to opportunity help create jobs and strengthen our communities.
- Protecting Communities and Strengthening Public Safety Public safety and fairness must go hand in hand. I helped pass gun accountability legislation that allows victims of gun violence to bring civil actions against irresponsible firearm manufacturers and dealers, strengthening accountability and protecting communities. As Chair of the Criminal Law Subcommittee, I work to ensure that Maryland’s laws support law enforcement, protect victims, and promote responsible reforms that make our neighborhoods safer while upholding fairness in our justice system to include due process and constitutional protections for our immigrant communities.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
