In their own words
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I am in the Air Force Reserves and I have spent my whole life defending this nation. I have decided to run for office to move my skills of planning to the state of Maryland. I am one of the values of the military. I strongly believe in honor, respect, dignity, and integrity. Our country has started to move away from these common sense values and the people around me have convinced me to run for office to bring these simple values back to the offices and to the American people. This is my first time running for public office. I am ready to serve the people of district 31, Maryland, and the American people with integrity!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
Education is a necessity to maintain a successful democracy. We need an educated populace that is able to think critically and recognize the way forward that best suits our communities. We are in an age where we must identify fact from fiction and lies from truth and AI slop from reality. We need our society to be able to discern these different concepts. We also need an educated society to be able to participate in our democracy. I imagine a world where all members of our society and think and speak critically on the issues facing our society. I believe the best way to get to this situation is to have an educated populace!Our electricity prices are outrageous here in Maryland and in the PJM interconnect. We have a situation where we are only producing approximately 38% of the energy we use here in Maryland. The best way to lower prices is to produce more energy. We desperately need to finish the wind project on the eastern shore. We also need to improve the infrastructure of the Nuclear powerplant location Calvert Cliffs here in Maryland. We need to rely less on other states to produce the electricity we need. This will also create high quality jobs in our backyard.America needs to shift our ideology when it comes to politics. We are currently in a situation where many Americans do not believe in our systems. This is completely justified and understandable. Many Americans believe that the two-party system is simply 2 wings of the same bird and it disencentivizes many Americans from voting. I want to be the person who comes and shifts this ideology where the politicians are representing the people. The Representatives are servants to the people and not there for self-enrichment. I imagine a world where our policies are thought about and passed because of the greater good and human dignity. This is where we need to go and I want to lead us there!
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am passionate on the policy that puts people first. We need to put our dollars towards education that creates opportunity for the American people. We need to not allow businesses from extorting our average worker while also creating a place that is possible for our small businesses to thrive and be successful. Let's shape the future together!
