Priorities
Equitable Education
We must recruit and retain staff, both teachers and support staff to address the academic, social and emotional needs of our students. To have successful students we must invest in families to include early childhood and parenting education.

- Recruit and retain staffing to ensure increased academic achievement and address the social and emotional needs of students

Business Development
Small businesses employ over 50% of Maryland’s private workforce. I will advocate for policies that support small and minority owned businesses.
- We must pass rational policies that level the playing field for small and minority owned businesses and provide opportunities for them to succeed.
Equitable and Efficient Government
We must utilize data to be transparent in our decision making, smart in our acquisition of goods and services and equitable in the investments we make in our communities. Taxpayers deserve a government that is effective and accountable.
- Use data to make decisions and allocate resources equitably
- Streamline processes to be more citizen focused

- Eliminate personal income tax burden in retirement.
