Why should voters elect you?
"I am a proven leader who has been able to get real results for my community. I will work hard for you. Vote for me."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"I believe that local community education is best for our children. I will fight to keep Anne Arundel County schools local and community based. I believe we need more state funding for our local schools, and the school board selection process needs to be fixed. I believe in smart growth and support its concept. I believe that the infrastructure should be built before houses and businesses are finished, no state road or intersection should be at an 'F' grade and all should be fixed. I believe we should pay as little taxes as we can. Congestion should be controlled."
