QUALIFICATIONS: How does your experience prepare you for the duties of United States Representative?
I am an accountant with 15 years of financial management experience. As the founder and CEO of a local healthcare company specializing in at-home care for seniors and persons with disabilities, I understand how to balance a budget while still providing the best quality of care possible. As a board member of the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation, I have supported and passed policies that directly support local business, improving the local tax base.
PROTECTING DEMOCRACY: What actions should the United States government take to protect voting rights and ensure the security of elections?
I will be a strong advocate for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, automatic voter registration for all eligible citizens, and the overturning of Citizens United. I will fight against partisan gerrymandering, polling location closures, and voter intimidation happening across the country.
ENVIRONMENT: How would you address problems such as climate change and pollution?
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our society today, with a particular impact on young people. In addition to supporting a rapid expansion of renewable and nuclear energy sources, we will hold polluters accountable for their actions through fines and non-renewal of licenses. Mass transit must also be a key element of our climate response by providing financial incentives to take trains and busses rather than driving.
IMMIGRATION: What changes would you propose in immigration policy?
As someone who has been through the legal immigration system, I understand it has serious flaws. We need to provide an easier path for qualified immigrants and their families to become full and equal citizens. Furthermore, I believe that undocumented immigrants who hold jobs, pay taxes, and are not convicted of any felony crimes, should be given a mechanism to achieve legal status.
FIREARMS: Please provide your position on national gun safety legislation.
Americans have no where they can go without being threatened by gun violence. Their schools, businesses, places of worship, and public spaces are all under threat. Firearm companies have a responsibility to keep weapons out of the hands of people who pose a threat to public safety, and I support legislation allowing lawsuits against companies whose products are used to commit acts of violence.
