- Law enforcement is my number one priority. I want to reverse the incredibly damaging effects of "defunding the police" here. Baltimore is now the number two murder capital in the United States, with Montgomery County experiencing soaring homicide rates, as well. The grim statistics are directly attributable to recent and ineffective policies that weakened, demoralized, and dehumanized our law enforcement. We've been losing sworn officers in droves, and recruitment is way down. Prosecutors are behaving more like public defenders by letting repeat offenders back on the street I believe that refunding the police, bolstering the esteem of our law enforcement, and increasing police presence in our communities can be achieved with concurrent eff
- I’m deeply concerned about the state of affairs in our schools. Presently, only 41% of Maryland’s third graders are proficient in reading and math. This backward slide is only partially attributable to Covid mandates and school closures. Other factors include the loss of highly trained and skilled educators. Like law enforcement, we’re losing qualified teachers in droves. Many who report being fed up with the bureaucracy, teaching to test, and with the meddling of politics in education.

It’s time to take a fresh look at our education system to find more meaningful ways to supp

Businesses are leaving the state or bypassing Maryland in favor of Northern Virginia for a more favorable tax and regulatory climate. We have a Democrat super-majority in our legislature who are ultimately responsible for this regression. Large corporations like Clark Construction – a longtime Maryland stalwart – recently took their $4 billion company to Northern Virginia. When Boeing and Raytheon Technologies considered relocating their headquarters to our greater metropolitan area, they ultimately chose NOVA. The same with Amazon when considering a business expansion here. This has to stop. The loss of businesses and jobs means that our ability to pay our pensio
