Where I Stand On The

Issues

Focused on the issues that matter to Queen Anne's County

  • Education

    •  Work toward a fair and equitable contract for Queen Anne’s County Public Schools
      employees, including addressing the ongoing contract situation affecting teachers.
    • Expand career and technical education (CTE) opportunities to provide students with
      additional pathways to workforce training and employment.
    • Support arts education and programming for students from kindergarten through 12th
      grade.

  • Responsible Growth and Housing

    • Review the pace and scale of development on Kent Island and consider policies intended
      to manage growth and its effects on infrastructure and quality of life.
    • Support efforts to increase the availability of attainable and affordable housing.
    • Strengthen protections for environmentally sensitive wetlands and other fragile areas.
    • Encourage cluster development where appropriate to preserve larger, continuous areas of
      farmland.
    • Explore expansion and strengthening of Critical Area protections.

  • Roads and Traffic Safety

    •  Address traffic congestion and road-safety concerns throughout Queen Anne’s County.
    • Work with the State of Maryland to improve at-grade crossings along the U.S. 50/301
      corridor.
    • Consider additional J-turn intersections where appropriate as a traffic-management and
      safety measure.

  • Healthcare and Community Services

    • Work with University of Maryland Medical Center and Luminis Health to attract
      primary-care physicians and medical specialists who can provide services within Queen
      Anne’s County.
    • Support efforts to restore an adult medical daycare center, providing support and respite
      for families and caregivers.
    • Review county policies concerning healthcare benefits provided to elected officials,
      including the lifetime healthcare benefits approved by the current County
      Commissioners.

  • Fiscal Responsibility and Recreation

    • Evaluate major capital projects based on their costs, long-term financial obligations,
      infrastructure impacts, and community priorities.
    • Oppose construction of a proposed 3,000-seat baseball stadium if the project does not
      meet appropriate fiscal-responsibility standards.
    • Explore expanding walking and biking trails, particularly throughout the upper part of
      Queen Anne’s County, as an alternative recreational and quality-of-life investment.
