Right now we are at a dangerous moment in our country's history, with an administration set on undermining election integrity. When elected, I will support The Freedom to Vote Act, The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and The DISCLOSE Act. Furthermore, I'd support providing the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) with full funding authorized under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to help states meet election administration standards.

Our current approaches to enforcing federal immigration laws have been cruel and calloused. Federal officers operating in communities should be clearly identifiable, accountable, and operating under consistent standards that build trust while upholding the law. Immigration enforcement resources should prioritize violent offenders, traffickers, cartel networks, and those who endanger public safety — not law-abiding families contributing to our economy. In its current form, ICE must be abolished.

This administration is directly responsible for rising costs impacting everyday Marylanders. My agenda is focused on addressing the root causes of each issue around affordability. With housing, I introduced legislation this session to ban hedge funds from buying up single-family homes, and would bring that energy to Congress. For healthcare, I'd support Medicare for All with a private option. I'd support universal childcare and raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15/hour tied to CPI.

I believe that the United States can & should be a beacon of hope for democracy, freedom & leadership across the globe. We can return to a country that leads with diplomacy & development, not military intervention. Unfortunately, this administration has strained relationships with our allies, disrupting the rules based international order. We are now viewed as a hostile state actor, & we must do everything we can to repair the relationships we've frayed with our allies.

It's critically important that we safeguard Social Security and defend the benefits seniors earned and rely on. Additionally, we must expand and protect the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit to put real money back into the pockets of families. This also includes restoring cuts to SNAP, WIC, and other programs that provide tangible support and dignity to Maryland's most vulnerable.

America has witnessed both sides calling foul play. When it comes to election integrity, we need a new election voting process. We need ID for banks, airports, doctors, fishing and hunting licenses, dozen of other transactions . We should have a ID for voting. We all have one driver's license proving you are a legal citizen, which is a great start social security card would be another ID allowed .

Keeping our borders closed is the best way to move forward. Until Congress and the Senate step in and do their job. I would like to see churches, businesses, and individuals sponsor a family. They would be sent home and get vetted. This would be a step for them to get in line first to come back. To obtain work permits, these groups would take full responsibility for managing their work status and legal appearances. The legal way is the best and only way.

Begin with electricity prices, move to re-open all coal plants shut down by Annapolis. Upgrade these generator plants to be clean coal. Push the data center city development to give electric relief to Marylanders in exchange for state and county tax breaks. Encourage local governments to make it easier to build homes. Train our younger generation for AI. Increase the childcare tax credit to 100 percent. Food is 1/4 of Americans' paychecks. We must make it cheaper and healthier .

America has made itself the leader on the world stage. We have to work on our manners and lead by strength. When working with our partners around the world, we need to listen. See how we can assist them now and in the future. We need to put America first, support our military and their families. War should be the last resort. Once the first shot has been fired, it is hard to stop. I hope this war with Iran ends with Iran allowing inspectors in and ending uranium enrichment.
