Put an introductory paragraph to your issues page here. It could be about specific key issues your campaign is focusing on or your campaign’s more general mission and approach.
Intentional Economic Development
Southern Maryland does not need more businesses. It needs better ones. Not all economic growth is equal. A community that simply lets anything open anywhere is not thriving it is just filling square footage.
Expanded Homeowner & Affordability
Housing prices in Southern Maryland have gone up dramatically. Salaries have not kept pace. The result is that working families people who are employed, contributing to this community, doing everything right are still falling behind.
Not every student is college-bound, and that is not a failure. It is a reality we have ignored for too long. Southern Maryland needs more pathways for students who want to build careers with their hands, their skills, and their technical expertise.
