Platform and Issues

Economic Stability/Jobs:

There is a growing concern about the loss of jobs in our region. We need more alternative revenue sources, work force training and development. We need a re-evaluation of our tax and assessment policies.

Safety & Security:

A safe and secure community is a healthy community. We must support Public Safety needs that are growing with our population.

Education:

We must maintain the great student progress that our teacher/educational employees, parents and community have supported. It is critical that we encourage advancement in science, mathematics, and technology.

Growth and the Environment:

We must balance growth and infrastructure needs with our obligation to protect and preserve our environment, great rural character, history and traditions.

I believe that we value…

• Affordable housing for working families and senior citizens.
• Healthcare and Crisis support services.
• A healthy business community.
• Our relationship with the military, contractors and all families who have made St. Mary’s County home.
• The network of volunteers who work to serve the greater good for our community.
