Policy Objectives

• Education: Fully funded universal school meals and universal pre-K for all children. Learning is best achieved when children are not worried about hunger, and when given a proper start in school.

• Healthcare: Expand much needed access to affordable healthcare in rural Southern Maryland, to include robust mental health and addiction treatment services; appropriate routine and emergency medical care for children; and expanding specialized care for women to include needs related to adolescence, maternity, and menopause.

• Tax Reform: Promoting development of a clear tax policy that is fair and equitable for all Maryland citizens; one based on solid data and founded on a holistic approach versus picking elements that can pass legislative muster but not address the systemic issues and concerns of working people.

• Economy: Studies needed to ensure that minimum wage in Maryland is a living wage and is commensurate with the cost of living in our area.
