District 33B
House of Delegates
Forward Party has been a friend to me since the day I walked into Annapolis, in conjunction with the Future Caucus we will continue to work to open primaries and let ALL voices be heard. I am sick and tired, like most, of the two-party politics. I have remained neutral on many issues and really vote my district, not my party. I listen to all voices before making a decision or vote and have earned respect from all three parties, especially the unaffiliated voters in Maryland.
