Like so many people in Baltimore County, I’ve felt politically homeless—tired of the noise, the extremes, and the lack of real problem-solving in our politics. I’m running for County Executive as a transparent, moderate independent because I believe our communities deserve better. We need leadership focused not on party talking points, but on practical, common sense solutions that move our county forward.

This moment demands someone who will lead with fairness, listen with humility, and act with integrity. My professional experience has prepared me, but it’s my deep belief in public service that drives me. I’m stepping up because I believe in Baltimore County and the power of good governance to make a difference in people’s lives.

Policy Objectives

1. Safe Streets, Strong Families

We’ll invest in making every neighborhood safer—fully staffing our police force, strengthening anti-violence programs, and expanding family and youth services. I’ll prioritize public safety and support officers while also focusing on preventing crime at its root through early intervention and support.

2. Opportunity that Works for Everyone

From raising teacher pay and improving our schools, to supporting small businesses and growing new jobs through business incubators, we’ll make Baltimore County a place where every resident—especially young people—can build a better future. We’ll also eliminate bureaucratic hurdles and modernize county services to be faster, simpler, and more accountable.

3. Smart Government, Built to Serve

I’ll cut waste—not services—by finding efficiencies across departments, modernizing outdated systems, and reducing operating costs without touching code enforcement or the police department. We’ll repave roads, fix what’s broken, and push to rebuild the Key Bridge swiftly. I’ll also bring real transparency to county decisions, especially in how we grow, zone, and invest in our communities—because residents should have a say in what happens in their backyard.
