Balanced Infrastructure-Supported Growth & Agricultural Preservation
Growth must strictly balance preservation, community input, and infrastructure capability. Responsible housing and commercial development must align with sewer, traffic, and public service capacity, while preserving coastal lands and farming heritage.
"Growth must balance preservation, community input, and infrastructure capability. We need responsible housing development aligned with sewage, traffic, and public service capacity, and preservation of coastal lands and agricultural heritage."
Open-Session Budgeting & Streamlining County Permitting
Advocates conducting budget reviews openly with department heads so taxpayers see exactly where funds go, while lifting bureaucratic red tape to speed up permitting for residents and small businesses.
"Show the taxpayers where their money is going. Do it in an open session. Sit down with the department heads and find more ways of getting input from the citizens... We must also lift the burden of red tape on residents and speed up the permitting process."
Bringing BOE Leadership to the Commissioners' Boardroom
Drawing on his 4-year tenure as School Board Member and Board President, provides experienced liaison between commissioners and CCPS, supporting Career & Technology Academy (CTA), project-based learning, bus drivers, and education staff.
"The local school system needs a strong voice in the commissioners' hearing room, which I can provide... As a school board member, we were able to work through the budget deficit collaboratively."
Expanding Mental Wellness Support & Restorative Conferencing
Active board member with BecomeOne and organizer of Calvert's first annual Mental Health & Suicide Awareness Walk; champions student mental wellness, conflict resolution mediation, and youth support services.
"We need a safe, youth-centered, and mentally supportive community. Leadership should bring people together and ensure mental health resources reach our families."

Rejects political polarization in favor of collaborative, empathetic, relationship-driven governance; pledges to bring people together across all parties through listening sessions and direct resident engagement.
"Although I am running as a Democrat, I want to take my campaign across all parties and get Calvert back to being a place where people take care of each other. You should use leadership to bring people together."
