Fighting to provide a quality education for our children by:

• Reducing class size
• Providing additional classroom support for teachers
• Creating incentives to retain quality teachers
• Finding ways that schools can be better resources for their communities
• Providing a safe environment where children can learn
• Increasing funding for renovations and building expansion
• Keeping higher education affordable at our colleges and universities

Ensuring affordable and accessible health care:

• Supporting wellness and prevention programs
• Working to obtain fair prescription prices for seniors and others
• Improving the pay, education and training of nurses and health care workers to better ensure quality health care
• Providing greater mental health services to the uninsured and underinsured
• Working to ensure that doctors and other health care providers stay in Maryland
• Finding ways to help small businesses provide health care for their employees
• Promoting smoke-free environments

Preserving safe and stable communities:

Preserving our neighborhoods is critical to the long term well being of Baltimore County and the State. We cannot afford to abandon our older communities. I will work to make sure the older communities are not abandoned but are given the attention they deserve.

• Strengthening the coordination between state and local police
• Improving and upgrading road and traffic systems
• Support retail business retention and growth, particularly in older communities
• Protecting and increasing public open space
• Working with Towson University and the Towson neighborhoods to ensure the University remains an asset and students are good neighbors
• Help implement the community supported recommendations of the Towson UDAT (Urban Design Assistance Team)

Keeping Energy Affordable

• Providing the leadership necessary to protect citizens from future massive utility rate increases
• Working to find ways to cushion the rate increase
• Fighting to delay the merger until we are sure it will not cause another price increase
• Examining ways to get the money back from BGE that it was given for its power plants; they have not lost the money that they predicted
