Why I’m Running…
The
Progressive
leadership
of
the
General
Assembly
have
lost
their
moral
compass.
They
are
pushing
a
“woke”
ideology
on
our
kids,
granting
medical
coverage
to
illegals
while
raising
the
cost
of
our
health
insurance,
and
pursuing
unrestricted
abortions
including
the
termination
of
babies
up
to
4
weeks
after
birth.
MD
schools
are
currently
ranked
26th
in
the
nation
with
only
72%
of
our
kids
scoring
above
BASIC
for
reading.
The
rating
was
73%
in
2002.
This
means
over
one-fourth
of
our
kids
are
testing
below
the
BASIC
level
for
reading
and
have
been
for
the
past
20 years.
Today,
violent
crime
is
up
across
the
state.
We
need
more
police,
not
less,
and
we
must
restore
the
trust
between citizens and the police.
Opioid
overdoses
have
become
epidemic.
4.7%
of
all
deaths
in
MD
are
from
drug
overdoses
–
this
is
the highest percentage in the nation.
But It Doesn’t Have to be This Way …
Imagine
a
school
system
that
is
ranked
at
the
top
on
the Nation’s Report Card.
Imagine
a
neighborhood
where
kids
can
play
in
the
front yard without fear of kidnapping or being shot.
Imagine
a
neighborhood
where
everyone
has
a
steady,
good-paying
job,
food
in
the
pantry
and
a
few
dollars left over to enjoy a vacation.
If
elected,
I
will
be
a
common-sense
voice
–
your
voice
–
to
correct
our
schools,
restore
our
neighborhoods,
and
protect
the
traditional
values
that
made
this
a
great
State.
Together,
we
can
make
our
imagination a reality.
Crime & Safety
•
Track
down
the
dealers
and
pipelines
that
are
bringing
in drugs from an open border.
•
Replace
programs
that
enable
drug
abuse
(clean
needles)
with
programs
that
help
people
get
off
drugs
and stay clean.
•
I
will
push
for
the
use
of
proven
and
effective
drug
awareness programs.
Education
•
I
will
push
for
a
return
to
the
original
purpose
of
the
school
system:
to
teach
reading,
writing,
math,
sciences, history, and civics.
•
I
will
oppose
teaching
CRT
and
similar
propaganda
content that have no basis in fact or reality.
•
I
support
parental
rights
and
notifications.
I
will
push
for
full
disclosure
of
all
content
being
taught,
and
all
assessments and surveys conducted by the school.
•
I will push for parental consent for all health issues.
•
I
support
giving
more
control
to
the
local
school
board,
but
I
also
believe
we
need
more
fiscal
accountability
from each local district.
Other
•
I
support
a
limit
of
two
consecutive
terms
for
our
state legislators.
•
I
support
the
2nd
Amendment
and
the
right
of
law-abiding citizens to own guns.
•
I
support
election
integrity
so
that
every
vote
is
counted and every vote counts.
