District 24
Maryland State Senate
I’m running for Maryland State Senate because I believe families—no matter their zip code—deserve access to quality schools, safe neighborhoods, and economic opportunity. As a father, small business owner, and community advocate, I’ve seen firsthand how disconnected government can be from the day-to-day lives of working families. I’m stepping up to bring energy, accountability, and a focus on practical solutions that uplift our communities. It’s time to make state government work for all of us.

I appreciate the Forward Party’s commitment to bridging divides and putting people over politics. Their focus on pragmatic, community-driven solutions aligns with my belief that government should be responsive, inclusive, and future-focused.
