In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a taxpayer advocate, energy affordability fighter, and accountability-focused legislator who is willing to confront the political establishment on behalf of Maryland families.

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?

I am a strong conservative voice focused on affordability, public safety, government accountability, and energy costs.

I champion issues that resonate with voters who are concerned about rising electric bills, government overreach, crime, and lack of transparency.My appeal goes beyond the conservative base by emphasizing practical solutions, constituent service, small business experience, and my role as a watchdog for all taxpayers, not just partisan voters.
