Public record positions, statements, and campaign positions.
Equitable State Funding Formulas for Southern Maryland Schools
Advocates for revising state funding formulas under the Blueprint to ensure rural and suburban school districts receive adequate operational support without disproportionately straining local county property taxpayers.
"Our children in St. Mary's and Calvert deserve state-of-the-art schools, competitive teacher pay, and robust vocational programs. As Senator, I will fight in Annapolis to make sure Southern Maryland gets its fair share of state education funding."
Prioritizing Dual-Span Bridge & Highway Safety
Supports aggressive state coordination with federal partners to secure combined federal-state grants for replacing the Thomas Johnson Bridge and modernizing dangerous intersections along Route 235 and Route 4.
"Commuters have suffered decades of bottlenecks on the Thomas Johnson Bridge. We need a collaborative, urgent approach between Annapolis and our congressional delegation to break ground on a modern, dual-span crossing."
