Serving Citizens

• Bring back Character Counts to Frederick County Government.  A Government that serves the people and not just Special Interest.
• When Charter Government is implemented, each Council District will have a representative.  I will be a voice on the council from all the citizens of the fifth district.

• I oppose the sale of Citizens Care and Nursing Center.  For nearly two hundred years, the people of Frederick County have given help to those in need.  Now after building a 38 million dollar modern facility, the present board wants to sell it for 31 million with no conditions as to what happens to the property.
• Provide better property tax relief for our senior citizens.

Public Safety

• Fund and support our First Responders so they can be able to meet the ever increasing needs of Frederick County and it’s citizens.
• Work closely with Law Enforcement to stop the flow of drugs in the county.
• Provide resources to the Volunteer Fire and Rescue companies so they can continue to protect the lives and property of every citizen.
• I am opposed to a County Police Force.

Education

• To provide the very best education for our children
• To give our teachers and schools the resources they need to accomplish this
• Work with the State Government to secure more funds for the Board of Education
• We must attract and retain the highest qualified teachers for our classrooms
