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?

Fight for affordable living through lower taxes, lower cost-of-living, and for keeping Baltimorean's from being priced out of their communities.Better Representation in Annapolis. Make the large, diverse 46th district currently represented by three Delegates into three separate districts that better represent the diversity of the neighborhoods in Baltimore and Maryland.Improving our Baltimore and Maryland school's performance raised, focusing on results, achievement, and future citizen and job preparedness.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jeremy is passionate for a more Representative Government that focuses on all people of the 46th District.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Selflessness- too many elected officials are concerned about their party, their personal ambition, and their re-election to focus on real, grassroots community issues.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Representing all people in their district, not just the one's who show up to fundraisers.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

One of open for debate and discourse, and a variety of ideas that are all oriented to improving the lives of the people who vote them into office.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Rising cost of living, school performance and job preparedness, homelessness, and losing some aspects of our democracy- primarily better representation across diverse Baltimore neighborhoods, term-limits, and accountability.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I think the best suited person is one who lives in the community and knows what is impacting the people, not just working for their party's agenda.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

Single Delegate districts in all State Legislative Districts across Maryland.

Candidates hear many personal stories from voters. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching or memorable?

I chose to run because the representatives in my district are not addressing some of the issues that impact daily life and affordability for the residents. I also chose to run because I believe that Democracy works better when there is competition for office, and that no one gets re-elected unopposed.
