Public record positions, statements, and campaign positions.
Accelerating Gov. Thomas Johnson Bridge Replacement & Solomons Upgrades
Prioritizes replacing the 1977 Governor Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge, improving bicycle and pedestrian safety on Route 4, and upgrading Southern Calvert maritime infrastructure.
"The Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge is a daily bottleneck and a serious public safety hazard for Southern Calvert commuters. As Commissioner, I will work with state leaders to accelerate its replacement."
Firm Rejection of Mega Data Centers & Protecting Working Waterfronts
Staunch opponent of hyperscale data center facilities in District 1, arguing that industrial tech campuses destroy Solomons and Lusby quality of life and threaten local drinking water aquifers.
"Calvert's economic strength lies in our working waterfronts, wineries, farms, and tourism—not in destructive mega data centers. We need sustainable growth that preserves what makes Solomons and Southern Calvert unique."
Supporting Clean Nuclear Energy While Protecting Forest Buffers
Supports Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant's skilled union workforce and clean baseload electricity, while strictly opposing any behind-the-meter deals that clear-cut 800 acres of forest or strain the regional electrical grid.
"Calvert Cliffs generates 80% of Maryland's clean power and employs hundreds of our neighbors. We must support our nuclear workforce while ensuring Constellation cannot use clean energy as a backdoor to clear-cut pristine forest buffers for data centers."
Official Campaign Priorities
- Vocal opposition to heavy industrial data center projects in Calvert
- Supporting Calvert Cliffs clean nuclear energy while preserving forest buffer lands
- Advocating for state and federal funding for a new Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge
- Expanding sustainable eco-tourism, agritourism, and local small businesses
