I am running for Senate to provide a refreshing alternative from the career politician mold, bringing a unique blend of honesty, leadership, and an exceptional ability to navigate the complex political spectrum to deliver results. As the Managing Director and Treasurer of a well-known US International Business Council, I’ve been instrumental in advancing investment in American states and cities, demonstrating my capability to forge cross-border partnerships that benefit the US economy.
The United States MUST have free and fair elections. The integrity of these elections is of the utmost importance, and we must reform our election laws to secure voter ID requirements, prevent fraud, ban drop boxes, and stop ballot harvesting.
In order to address environmental issues, we must prioritize innovation and market-driven solutions rather than implementing overreaching government regulations. Conservatives can conserve our environment without sacrificing economic growth or imposing burdensome regulations.
First and foremost, we must secure our Southern border and prevent the flow of illegal immigrants into our communities. We must implement strong enforcement measures against illegal immigration. As the child of immigrants who came to this country the right way, I know the American Dream well and will fight for it every day.
As a pro-Second Amendment candidate, I believe in protecting public safety while upholding our constitutional rights. Restrictions on gun ownership should only target criminals and the mentally unstable, not law-abiding citizens. Strengthening background checks and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking are crucial to ensuring our safety and freedoms.

I am a husband, father, grandfather, Catholic, Patriot, I believe in the Constitution of the United States. I feel our country is going in the wrong direction. I feel my insite as an outsider is exactly what we need.
We need an ID for everything we do in life. You should need a photo ID to cast your ballot. A special exception for the elderly who may no have a license any longer.
I would start having all countries do their part in cleaning up the planet. All countries who manufacture need to be as mindful of the health of our planet as we and other countries are. We can all do better and do our part.
First I would start by closing the border. I would enforce the immigration laws on the books. I would hold Mexico and other countries financially responsible for their citizens buy boycotting trade until they control their own borders.
I am a defender of the second amendment.
I believe if a home has children under 18 years old a trigger locks or a safe must be used for their safety.

I am a lifelong Marylander, Army Veteran, former Attorney who completed 40,000 cases, MD Real Estate Broker and farmer. I was elected to the MD House of Delegates, fighting to restrain the State budget and against lobbyists. I've placed 25 charter amendments on the ballot, passing term limits and limiting property tax increases. My life has been dedicated to the service of America and Maryland and my track record of success has uniquely prepared me to serve Maryland in the United States Senate.
First, the Supreme Court should immediately end all efforts to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, and ensure a free and fair election for President. Second, the Federal Government should create a system to track voters who move to a new state, alerting both States of the move. The Federal Government has little constitutional power otherwise, but should facilitate States implementing ID requirements for every vote, bipartisan vote counting and recounting, and security at polling locations.
I will champion the expansion of Calvert Cliffs clean energy plant, which currently provides 38% of Maryland’s electricity. I will push for expanding America’s overall nuclear energy production, despite ‘environmental’ ‘activists’ efforts to thwart clean energy. I will also vote against treaties that allow China and India to dramatically increase pollution. Finally, I will promote clean-er sources of electricity, such as natural gas, and decrease our reliance on electricity sources like coal.
Annually, a million people enter the U.S. legally, far more than any other country on earth. In 2023, there were 3.2 million illegal migrant encounters. This year 28,000 lbs of fentanyl have been sized at the border. More than 2,500 Marylanders under 25 have died from it. We need to hire and place 2,000 immigration judges at the border to speed up processing. We also need to restore “Remain in Mexico” and “First Neutral Nation” policies, so that our asylum system is not taken advantage of.
As an Army veteran, I understand the awesome power of guns, and responsibilities that come with firearms ownership. “Gun safety” is not banning firearms. I will promote actual “gun safety” by voting for legislation that increases access to firearms safety training and promotes groups that teach the same. I will also fight for criminal justice reform that ensure that violent offenders, especially those who use guns, are kept in jail and not let loose on our street. I support the Second Amendment.

I am a registered nurse of 27 years. As a nurse, one must listen closely to what someone says and read between the lines to understand what they are communicating. I have had to effectively advocate for my patients as the liaison between doctor and patient. I have had to adapt to changing situations, policies, staff and negotiate effectively in complex situations in an institutional setting. During the Covid pandemic, I held my post every shift. I will effectively advocate for Marylanders!
Voting integrity is paramount for democracy. If people lose faith in our elections, then there is no incentive to vote. Elections must be fair/honest. I believe we should make voting a 1 day federal holiday with in-person voting and proper identification. Mail in ballots only for our military, oversees personal and the disabled. Ballots must be paper, not electronic, and counted with results reported on the same day.
As I understand it, the main goal of climate change policy is keeping our environment safe, and many believe we can achieve this with clean renewable energy, However, we need compromise on both sides. While effective green policy may help in aiding the reduction of climate change, we still need resources such as fossil fuels as they are still the lifeblood of our economy and can be used anywhere regardless of location, time, or weather.
Immigration policy change is a difficult subject as so many have already illegally crossed onto American soil. As per our existing laws and policies, one must be detained, vetted, and apply for asylum, not immediately released. The current no border policy is not fair to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to our country legally and is dangerous. I believe one should abide by our laws in order to receive citizenship, social benefits, and rights just as every other American.
There are already ample gun safety legislation in effect. It is not about passing more gun safety laws, criminals will continue to find ways to obtain firearms illegally to commit crimes. While I have no issues with continued screenings and vetting purchasers, and red flagging potential owners with medical/mental instability, I do stand by Americans who legally own and purchase firearms for their protection. It is their 2nd Amendment Right!

Governor Hogan has a long record of solving hard problems and overcoming broken politics–including working with the state's Democratic legislature to cut taxes, lower health care costs, and make generational investments in universal broadband and workforce development; leading the nation’s governors through the worst global pandemic in more than a century; and, as co-chair of No Labels, partnering with the Problem Solvers Caucus to advance a historic federal infrastructure bill.
Free and fair elections are the foundation of American democracy and the most basic promise that those in power can pledge to citizens. Governor Hogan supports state and local efforts to ensure safe and secure elections by combating election interference and intimidation. He also looks forward to continuing to work with the League of Women Voters and other leading civic-minded organizations on initiatives to end partisan gerrymandering and restore fairness in the electoral system.
While Washington was failing to address climate change, Maryland was leading under Governor Hogan–enacting cleaner air standards stronger than 48 other states and far stronger than the Paris Agreement. In addition to supporting strong environmental stewardship and sustainability, he believes it is especially critical to bring both state and federal resources to bear in holding upstream polluters accountable and protecting regional Chesapeake Bay cleanup goals.
The humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border underscores the need to fix our broken and badly outdated immigration system. One party alone didn’t cause these problems, and one party alone cannot solve them. Governor Hogan will work with any leader willing to set politics aside and work on real solutions–starting with securing the border and addressing the flow of migrants.
Governor Hogan believes it is possible to respect the rights of law-abiding gun owners while making it harder for criminals and the mentally ill to obtain firearms. In addition to red flag legislation, the governor has long called for federal action to institute a federal universal background check system. He also strongly supports providing law enforcement with more tools and resources to protect our communities–including increasing penalties for those who commit a crime with a gun.

I’m not a Politician; I’m a Public Servant. Raised here in Maryland, I have spent my life defending our Nation. I was a Harford County Deputy Sheriff. I served 23 years in the U.S. Air Force Reserve; retiring as a highly decorated combat veteran. I was a Senior Civilian Intelligence Officer for the Government; considered a Subject Matter Experts in Asymmetric Threats. I’ve lectured on National Security issues at major universities and testified before Congress nearly 100 times.
I believe that every eligible Citizen should be offered the chance to cast their ballot. There needs to be a way to update voter rolls in a more timely and automated manner. I am in favor of requiring an ID to vote to ensure that the person casting a ballot is who they say they are. I would end mail-in ballot "harvesting" and require that all mail-in ballots be sent by U.S. mail. People need to believe in the integrity of the voting process again.
I will introduce legislation to restore American energy independence and also will introduce legislation to incentivize development of clean energy alternatives and hold polluters financially and criminally accountable for their actions. I will encourage the Administration to engage with other nations to reach consensus on ways that they, too, can reduce both carbon emissions and other pollutants. This is a global issue and required a global response. The U.S. cannot do this alone.
All nations are defined by their borders. I would work to end the practice of allowing undocumented migrants to surge across our borders and enforce our current entry laws. I would push to have military and other government attorneys detailed as Administrative Law Judges to hear asylum petitions at the border. I will introduce legislation to update our broken legal immigration statutes, with provisions to allow qualified U.S. Citizens to sponsor close family members outside current restrictions.
Marylanders understand that criminals, by definition, do not follow laws. The solution is not more laws, but strict enforcement of existing laws. I will amend current Federal criminal codes to remove judicial discretion in sentencing of crimes involving firearms; adding a 5-year mandatory consecutive term for these crimes that cannot be suspended. I will work to have registered gun owners maintain records of private sales, as one would do with the sale of a vehicle.
