I work inside Baltimore County government every day improving services, analyzing legislation, and leading county-wide initiatives that deliver results for residents. I have experience in both federal and county offices and understand how policy becomes action. As a lifelong Owings Mills resident and BCPS graduate, I know this community and am ready to serve effectively on day one.
Affordability, infrastructure, public safety, and economic opportunity are the most pressing challenges facing our county. Residents need housing they can afford, reliable transportation, safe neighborhoods, and good paying jobs. We must ensure equitable investment in Northwest and Western Baltimore County and deliver practical solutions that strengthen working families, seniors, and small businesses.
A responsible, balanced budget should reflect our values. I support fair pay for teachers and first responders, full funding for public schools, and stronger investment in infrastructure, housing, and senior/family services. We must ensure we have community input throughout the budget process, pursue state and federal funding where possible, invest in our residents, and prioritize smart growth.
We are facing a housing affordability crisis. I support inclusionary zoning, transit-oriented development, and expanded support for first-time homebuyers and seniors. We must strengthen renter protections and enforce housing codes while directing growth responsibly and preserving green space so development benefits communities without overwhelming them.
County government can support job growth by streamlining permitting, expanding workforce training, investing in small and minority owned businesses, and expanding Boost fund eligibility. I will champion revitalization of the Liberty Road corridor and build partnerships between schools, employers, and county agencies to create career pathways in skilled trades, life sciences, and technology.
Our roads, sidewalks, and public facilities need serious investment. I will work to repair potholes, implement ADA upgrades, traffic calming, and green infrastructure to address flooding and climate impacts. I will work with our state and federal partners to secure funding and prioritize aging corridors and underserved neighborhoods to ensure safe, reliable infrastructure countywide.

After 32 years on the Central Committee and decades managing County and State programs, I’ve spent my career bringing agencies, communities, and stakeholders together to solve problems. I’ve helped draft and pass 36 pieces of legislation and redistricting reforms that strengthened transparency, fairness, and representation. This has prepared me to serve on the County Council with a practical, collaborative approach and a commitment to equity, accountability, and community‑centered policymaking.
The County’s future depends on thoughtful planning, community engagement, and policies that reflect our values and our long‑term needs.
Key issues include:
• Sustainable growth and responsible development
• Housing affordability and stability
• Public health and social services capacity
• Transportation and mobility
• Environmental resilience and climate preparedness
• Education and workforce readiness
• Developing a new economic engine- new sources of revenue not based on increased fees
Key priorities include:
• Keep core services like public safety, education, health, and social services well‑resourced
• Invest with forward thinking in infrastructure and sustainable growth, roads, transit, stormwater systems, schools, and public facilities
• Strengthen environmental resilience with flood mitigation, clean water infrastructure, and climate‑preparedness
• Maintain AAA bond rating by ensuring every dollar is used efficiently, with clear public reporting and a focus on outcome
County should support smart sustainable growth:
• Protect programs like NeighborSpace that safeguard the natural areas our communities depend on
• Start programs like Chicago’s Urban Greening that promote gardening in food deserts
• Expand affordable and fair housing in the mixed-use areas
• Protecting natural areas is essential for stormwater management, climate resilience, and public health
• Community‑centered planning- Housing decisions made with early involvement pf marginalized commun
• Expand partnerships that build training pipelines in high‑demand fields
• Streamline permits, expand technical assistance, improve access to capital for small business
• Invest in infrastructure that supports economic growth like reliable transportation, broadband, water and sewer capacity- essential for retaining employers
• Redevelop existing commercial corridors, support transit‑oriented development, align growth with infrastructure
• Leverage emerging industries (wind & nuclear power)
• Focus on urgent needs first- water and sewer upgrades, stormwater systems, school facilities and transit corridors
• Pursue government infrastructure grants for transportation, broadband, clean energy, and climate resilience
• Invest in climate‑resilience for flooding, extreme heat, and aging stormwater system
• Upgrade roads, bridges, sidewalks, and transit essential for safety, mobility, and economic growth
• Provide clear information about infrastructure priorities, timelines, and spen

As a systems engineer and community leader, I am uniquely prepared for the County Council. With degrees from Morgan State and Johns Hopkins, I bring a rigorous, analytical approach to infrastructure and economic modernization. Having managed engineering projects across three continents, I offer a global perspective on local innovation. My record-breaking fundraising on the Central Committee proves my fiscal discipline, while my hands-on service with E-Unity ensures my policies empower neighbors.
To secure a strong future for Baltimore County, I’ll prioritize schools, affordability, and transit. I will protect our education system by securing $60k starting salaries for teachers and funding school repairs without raising taxes. To lower costs, I advocate for Growth-Based Revenue, using developer fees to incentivize local grocers and small businesses in vacant storefronts. Finally, I’ll fight to reinstate the Red Line and ensure 100% high-speed internet access for all by 2030.
To keep Baltimore County’s budget balanced, I prioritize a Growth-Based Revenue model that avoids tax hikes by leveraging natural growth and identifying $46.8 million in administrative efficiencies. I will secure our schools by moving essential costs, like the $60,000 teacher starting salary, into the stable General Fund. By strengthening developer impact fees, we shift the infrastructure burden away from taxpayers while granting the Inspector General full authority to audit spending.
I advocate for a "Stability First" approach to balance housing needs. My plan provides property tax credits for seniors and long-term residents to prevent displacement in Randallstown and Owings Mills. I support transit-oriented fair housing to keep students stable in their schools and ensure families have reliable transport. Finally, I will strengthen developer impact fees to shift the cost of growth away from taxpayers, funding the preservation of our local parks and vital green spaces.
I am committed to a modern economy with high-paying jobs in technology and defense. By linking community colleges to local employers through apprenticeships, we ensure our workforce is ready. Simultaneously, I’ll tackle the cost of living by bringing fresh, affordable food options to Randallstown and Owings Mills. Through Growth-Based Revenue tax credits for grocers, we will fill vacant storefronts, lowering grocery bills while building a stronger, more resilient community.
To modernize our county, I’ll accelerate $358.3M in school repairs, focusing on HVAC and roof replacements at Randallstown and Dulaney High. My plan leverages grants to fix aging pipes and water systems before they become expensive emergencies for homeowners. I am committed to better roads and transit by restoring the Red Line and securing state funding for bridge repairs. We will achieve this through "Smart Growth" that eases traffic flow while preserving our precious environment.

As a retired union plasterer and Teamsters Local 237 member, I understand budgets, public contracts, and workforce policy. My leadership in environmental and community advocacy has strengthened my knowledge of zoning, infrastructure, and code enforcement. With 19 years in Baltimore County and a background in ethical leadership, I’m prepared to provide disciplined oversight and responsible governance.
The county’s most pressing issue is fiscal discipline. We face structural budget pressures from school overcrowding, pension obligations, infrastructure backlogs, and rising public safety costs. We must prioritize capital planning, control long-term liabilities, align development with school capacity, and ensure economic growth expands the tax base without overburdening homeowners. Sustainable budgeting will determine our long-term stability.
We must fully fund education, protect public safety, and honor pension obligations — without shifting costs onto homeowners. That requires zero-based review of spending, tighter capital planning, and development that expands the commercial tax base. Every dollar should demonstrate measurable return. Balanced budgets demand structural discipline, not temporary fixes or politically convenient spending.
We must align housing policy with infrastructure capacity and environmental stewardship. That means promoting mixed-income housing near transit and existing commercial corridors, enforcing fair housing laws, and protecting established neighborhoods and green space from overdevelopment. Smart growth — not unchecked density — allows us to expand affordability while preserving environmental integrity and community stability.
The county should prioritize business retention, workforce development, and targeted redevelopment of underperforming commercial corridors. We must streamline permitting, align zoning with economic strategy, and invest in infrastructure that attracts employers. Partnering with unions, community colleges, and small businesses will strengthen our workforce pipeline while expanding the commercial tax base and creating sustainable, family-supporting jobs.
We need a disciplined, multi-year capital improvement strategy grounded in asset management data. I support prioritizing water systems, roads, school facilities, and stormwater compliance through performance-based capital planning. Preventive maintenance must replace deferred maintenance. Infrastructure investments should be coordinated with responsible growth so new development strengthens — not strains — existing public systems.

My service as Chair of the Baltimore County Board of Education gave me direct experience overseeing a multi-billion-dollar budget and partnering with the County Council on policy and school construction. I have also served as a congressional staffer, Maryland Transportation Commissioner, and former PTA President. As an Owings Mills resident and parent of three BCPS graduates, I bring experience in budgeting, policy, and constituent service to the Council.
Baltimore County faces several pressing challenges: managing responsible growth, improving transportation and infrastructure, expanding affordable housing, and ensuring strong public schools. We must also address rising costs for families, support economic development that creates good local jobs, and protect our environment. The County must plan carefully to balance growth with community needs and maintain a high quality of life for everyone in the county.
Budget priorities should include funding strong public schools, public safety, road and infrastructure maintenance, and reliable transportation options. We must also invest in community centers and programs for youth and seniors, expand affordable housing, and support small businesses. Maintaining a balanced budget requires careful spending, transparency, and prioritizing services neighborhoods and families rely on most.
We must expand affordable housing options while protecting green space and ensuring fair housing practices. This includes encouraging redevelopment of existing or vacant commercial areas, supporting mixed-income housing near transit, and updating zoning to allow more housing options within the URDL where infrastructure already exists. Smart growth policies can increase affordability while preserving open space and maintaining the character of our communities.
County government can encourage job growth by supporting small businesses, redeveloping vacant commercial properties, and investing in workforce development. We should expand training programs for high school students through partnerships with local industries and community colleges to prepare them for in-demand careers. Strategic planning can attract employers and create opportunities for residents.
I support adopting a “Fix-It-First” infrastructure policy that prioritizes repairing existing roads, bridges, water systems, and public facilities before new projects. The County should repair roads with persistent potholes and damage and install traffic-calming measures such as speed bumps and roundabouts where speeding is a safety issue. Preventative maintenance and transparent capital planning will keep infrastructure safe and reliable.
