I strongly oppose additional data centers in Maryland. They place a heavy strain on an already expensive and overburdened power grid, likely driving energy costs even higher for residents and small businesses. These facilities also consume significant water and land resources. Despite their size and impact, they create very few long-term jobs, offering limited economic benefit to local communities compared to the lasting infrastructure burden they impose.
Rising utility costs in Maryland are driven by limited in-state energy generation, reliance on imported power, grid congestion, and costly infrastructure upgrades passed on to consumers. High-demand users like data centers also add pressure.

I will prioritize expanding local energy generation to reduce dependence on out-of-state power, strengthen ratepayer protections, and increase oversight of utility rate hikes. We must ensure reliability while keeping costs affordable.
Yes, but it must be done strategically. Improving public transportation can ease congestion, expand access to jobs, and support economic growth. However, investments should focus on reliability, safety, and routes with clear demand, not wasteful expansion. We should prioritize maintaining and upgrading existing systems, improving regional connectivity, and ensuring taxpayer dollars deliver real, measurable benefits.
My top budget priorities are lowering the cost of living, reining in wasteful government spending, and supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs. I will fight for programs that reduce gas and electric costs and roll back taxes and fees that disproportionately burden working-class and fixed-income residents, while creating a more business-friendly environment for growth. We must focus on easing financial pressure while supporting long-term economic opportunity.
I support the government prioritizing the removal of those who commit violent crimes and threaten public safety, while securing our borders. Those who follow the law, contribute, and aspire to be American citizens should be granted legal pathways to citizenship, just as previous generations have done. Guided by my Catholic faith, I believe we can uphold the rule of law while treating people with dignity and supporting those pathways.

They are in indirect to the state.But we need a study before we do something like this.In our state.
The problem is we have eliminated the supply that we have in maryland and we did not look into how we can make sure that we can replace it.
In some of our areas, we do need improvement and access. But we need to be very careful on how we do that.

I support legal immigration and not illegal immigration. There is and always have been a legal way to become and american citizen.
