There is nothing more important than simple safety. The elderly, women, and children need to be able to go about their lives without worrying if they’re going to become the next victim of some horrible crime. Attacks, theft, and violence of any kind are unacceptable in our communities. However, policymakers have neglected the people and failed to create a system that effectively keeps criminals off of our streets.
When I’m in Congress, I’ll fight to make sure Marylanders, especially the most vulnerable members of our community, are safe and sound.

The pursuit of happiness is an integral part of American society. Our country is the greatest on Earth because it gives everyone a chance to come here, work hard, be responsible, and achieve The American Dream. Unfortunately, our local and state leaders here in Maryland seem content to tax, fee, and regulate many businesses out of existence.
In Congress, I will push for pro-growth business policies that protect American workers and put American businesses first.

Without freedom, there is no America, period. We are the greatest country on Earth because we believe in limited government, personal choice, and personal responsibility. Unfortunately, the tentacles of “Democratic Socialism” (aka Communism) are starting to take hold on our society, threatening the very freedoms and liberties that make us #1.
My focus in Congress will be to keep Communist policies where they belong; in the history books, and promote freedom and liberty for all.
