Priorities
Economic
A strong economy starts with a balanced budget. I have strengthened our local economy by supporting over $20 million in tax credits, and by working to maintain Maryland’s AAA bond rating. Relying on these successes, I will continue to support economic development, local businesses, and job creation.
Healthcare
As a healthcare professional, I understand that health is fundamental to a flourishing community. I will continue my work to build a new regional medical center, and increase access to high-quality health care for all Marylanders.
Transportation
In order for our workforce to succeed, we must provide robust and updated transportation infrastructure. I will use my experience as the Vice Chair of the Capital Budget Subcommittee to secure transportation funding for roads and WMATA projects.
Education
All of our children deserve the opportunity to receive high-quality education in modern schools. I will continue my work to ensure the policies and resources are in place to support education from Pre-K to College. Additionally, I will ensure that our children have access to an engaging arts education and vocational training.
