Priority Issues:

The choice is clear; voters have had enough of politics as usual--same vote, same person, same results. Enough is enough. The 4th Congressional District of Maryland sits in the shadow of the United States Capitol.

However, we have an unattractive public education school system, seniors who's rents are increasing every year, black males disproportionately incarcerated and recidivated, serious healthcare disparities among minorities, too many of our veterans and their families homeless, a shameful unemployment rate, an embarrassing foreclosure start rate and poor transportation resources for people with disabilities and seniors.

We deserve an experienced federal leader with fresh vision. I commit to providing Servant-Leadership every-day; going the extra mile as I did on the battle field--doing whatever it takes to get the mission accomplished! I am asking for your vote because together, we can accomplish more and because I believe enough is enough with regard to our recycled and stale ideas from the same circle of politicians. Yes, I am a non-establishment candidate, the best candidate.
