As your state Delegate, I will work toward
Balanced and Sensible Transportation policies – I will continue to work to promote
regional cooperation and to advance new approaches that go beyond a focus on
expensive road projects. We need “solutions for now “ that balance the concerns of
District 18 with the whole of Montgomery County, the State and the region. Read more...
Enhanced Education and Training Opportunities - I will work hard to ensure that
Montgomery County gets our fair share of state education dollars for teacher pay and
school construction. I will work to continue Montgomery County's educational excellence
and to find ways to close the achievement gap.
Better Environmental and Energy Policies - I will continue the fight for clean air and
water and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. I will work to ensure that large energy
companies are held accountable to provide reliable, affordable energy in a way that
respects the community and the environment. I will fight to ensure that Maryland does its
share to address the critical problem of Global Climate Change.

Safe Streets and Safe Neighborhoods - I will work to ensure that we have the laws,
resources and coordination for safe streets and effective emergency response
Balanced Growth and Development - I understand the importance to many of you
for ensuring that new development is compatible with existing communities – Regional
forces are increasing the pressure for rapid change and gentrification. Growth is
desirable, but we need to make sure that growth is sustainable and be careful not to
erode our quality of life. Better development decisions are made when all stake holders
have a seat at the table.
Good Government - We deserve election, ethics and campaign finance systems that
inspire confidence. I will work to close loopholes in our voting laws, sunshine laws and
ethics laws so that Government puts the concerns of citizens first. I will work to establish
public financing of campaigns so that the public interest will better guide elected officials.
Affordable, Accessible Health care - I will work to expand access to affordable
health care for citizens. I will seek ways to reduce unnecessary red tape for our hard-
working doctors, nurses and medical professionals. I believe that strongly supporting
medical research at institutions such as the NIH are a wise investment in our future.
Protecting the Safety Net for Families - I am aware of your concerns that our cost of
living has increased dramatically in recent years especially for seniors. I will work to
protect families and retirees from bearing the brunt of increased energy and tax bills. I
will seek ways to ensure that government is fiscally responsible and uses resources
efficiently.
Enhancing Consumer Protection - I will work to strengthen laws and resources that
protect privacy, prevent identity theft, spam, and unscrupulous marketing practices that
take advantage of vulnerable citizens.
Strengthening our Economy - I believe that a strong economy does not need to
come at the expense of quality of life, the environment or good government. I believe
that there are opportunities to reform our state tax code in ways that can reduce cost
and red tape for small businesses that are the engine of our economy.
Building Inclusive Communities - Everyone deserves to have a voice. I will work to
ensure that all parts of our diverse community are included in decisions. I will work to
keep us moving forward on civil rights and strengthening protections against
discrimination. I believe we can do more to provide additional funding and enforcement
to increase compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
