Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

For nearly 30 years, I have dedicated my life to serving his country and my community. A veteran of the Iraq War and a strong conservative, I have a proven record of protecting American taxpayers and standing up for the values that make our nation strong. Maryland’s District 27B is my home — and I will fight every day for the families of Calvert and Prince George’s Counties.

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?

Taxes and Fees

Marylanders are being crushed by rising taxes and fees. In 2025, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act, raising taxes and fees by $1.6 billion — increases that affect nearly every resident.

From higher vehicle taxes and emissions fees to increased property assessments, digital service taxes, and new taxes on everyday purchases, families are paying more than ever just to live and work in Maryland.

I believe Marylanders deserve relief.Lowering High Energy Bills

Maryland families are facing skyrocketing electric bills — in some cases reaching nearly $1,300 per month during the winter. State policies mandating the closure of coal‑fired power plants by 2030 have left Maryland with fewer energy sources and higher costs.

I believe Maryland must pursue practical, affordable energy solutions.Fiscal Responsibility

In 2026, Governor Moore and the Prince George’s County government approved a $200 million taxpayer‑funded grant to help build a “Mini Sphere” at National Harbor — a project that cost billions in Las Vegas and was built without public funding.

I believe Maryland taxpayers should not be forced to fund projects they did not approve and do not want.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Working with the Federal Government

In February 2026, Governor Moore signed the law that prevents state and local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This law restricts officers from inquiring about immigration status or honoring ICE detainers — even in cases involving violent offenders.

I believe public safety must come first.
