My work ethic is rooted in generations of union members and leaders, including my ancestor Terence V. Powderly. I am an AFSCME and former UFCW member. While working full-time and raising my youngest son, I got up early, stayed up late, and studied during every work break. I had access to the Law Library after hours and weekends. I earned a degree in Legal Studies, cum laude and a certificate from the Inst. for Court Mgmt
This position demands hard work from 9 to 5, not a political figururehead.
Priority one is protecting Due Process and The Rule of Law for the citizens of Fred. Co. Today, we need local elected officials to declare and affirm their loyalty to the Constitution and not be complicit with the current Federal Adm. The biggest challenge will be thwarting any unlawful directives from Fed. Adm. I will not falter.
Second, I will provide court staffers information regarding unionizing with AFSCME. Strength in numbers, there are 24 Circuit and 33 District Courts in Md.
