I oppose the siting of hyperscale data centers in Harford County because they would place significant strain on our local grid, drive up utility costs for residents and alter the rural and community character that residents value, all while offering limited long-term local economic benefit. If such facilities are ever considered elsewhere in the state, they must meet strong environmental and water-use protections, provide transparent community benefits, and undergo rigorous oversight by MPSC.
Utility costs in Maryland are rising because of regional market failures, unchecked utility spending, and growing demand, especially from large corporate users. My plan is to protect ratepayers by working to fix the capacity market. The capacity auction is where the biggest price spikes happen. Stronger price caps to prevent extreme spikes, better demand forecasting, penalties for overpricing or manipulation. I will also work to expand energy assistance programs &
invest in home weatherization.
Yes, public transportation should be improved, particularly in underserved urban and rural communities. Many Marylanders lack reliable access to work, healthcare, and education due to inadequate transit options. Targeted investments in underserved areas promote equity, expand economic opportunities, and create jobs. Smart, strategic improvements, not blanket expansion, ensure taxpayer dollars are spent where the need is greatest.
My top priorities are affordability, education, and public safety. Harford County families are stretched thin. I will fight for policies that give working families real relief. Every family deserves to be able to afford a decent life. We all deserve affordable necessities that include housing, healthcare, groceries and gas. Also, every child deserves a safe, well-funded school with supported teachers. Public safety concerns include effectiveness, trust and proactive measures.
Immigrants strengthen Maryland's economy and communities. I support the Community Trust Act, which ensures local law enforcement focuses on community safety rather than federal immigration enforcement. I oppose federal overreach that tears families apart through unjust deportation. I will fight to expand access to services, support pathways to legal status, and ensure all Marylanders residents are treated with dignity.
