5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I identify as a Catholic and a social justice Democrat. As residents of Maryland, we reside in one of the most affluent states within the wealthiest nation in the world, and that comes with a moral responsibility to strive for a society that enhances the quality of life for everyone. If you resonate with the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, you will discover a true advocate in Bill Geibler.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

We all want to ensure vulnerable Marylanders have access to food, housing, and healthcare. The issue is not whether to help, but how to do it effectively. Simply increasing spending without accountability has not always improved outcomes. Before adding more funding, we should ensure current programs are efficient, targeted, and reaching those most in need. Marylanders are already struggling with a high cost of living, so we must balance compassion with fiscal responsibility. The goal should be to provide meaningful support while promoting long-term independence and protecting taxpayers.

2. Environment:

We all want a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. But good intentions must be guided by common sense. Right now, Maryland families are facing energy bills that are simply too high. Programs like EmPOWER, combined with mandates, taxes, and fees, make up nearly 30% of monthly bills, placing a heavy burden on working families and seniors. America has proven we can produce reliable, affordable energy while protecting the environment. Maryland should focus on innovation and affordability, not policies that drive up costs. We can protect both our environment and our economy.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

The BOOST program is working and should be expanded. No student should be trapped in a failing school. Every Maryland student should be eligible for scholarships or vouchers, because education funding should follow the child, not the system. Parents should have the power to choose the best educational opportunity for their children. For too many families, especially those of modest means, the right school is simply out of reach. Expanding scholarships gives parents the freedom to choose the education that best meets their child’s needs.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I have voted against physician assisted suicide each time it’s come up for a vote. I am pro-life from the womb to the tomb.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should vote for me because I believe in protecting the dignity of every person, strengthening families, and serving with integrity. My faith guides my commitment to life, religious freedom, and caring for those in need, while respecting the vital role of families and churches. I will stand up for parents’ rights in education and work to make Maryland more affordable so families can thrive. Public service is about stewardship, and I will lead with accountability, common sense, and respect for the values we share as Christians.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I fully agree. Maryland should continue—and when needed, increase—its investment in programs that help low‑income residents meet their basic needs. Making sure people have access to food, stable housing, and healthcare is essential for a strong and healthy community. Supporting these services protects human dignity, helps families stay stable, and ultimately reduces long‑term costs for the state. Ensuring every Marylander has the foundation to live with security and opportunity is both the right thing to do and a sound policy decision.

2. Environment:

Maryland should support tax credits and grant programs that help families, small businesses, and nonprofits reduce their carbon footprint. These incentives make energy‑saving upgrades more affordable, lower utility costs, and reflect our shared responsibility to care for creation and protect the health of Maryland’s most vulnerable communities.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I believe Maryland should thoughtfully continue funding scholarships that help low‑income students access the K–12 nonpublic school that best meets their needs. For some families, these scholarships open doors to safer, more supportive, or more specialized learning environments they otherwise could not afford. Expanding opportunity for vulnerable students aligns with our shared commitment to dignity, educational equity, and the well‑being of every child.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I believe Maryland should approach this issue with compassion and great care. While I respect the concerns behind the current law, I also believe that in rare and exceptional cases. When a person is facing a terminal, non‑curable illness, fully informed, and freely choosing this option without any pressure, medical aid in dying can be an acceptable and humane choice. Any consideration of this issue must be grounded in strong safeguards, thorough medical and ethical discussions, and a continued expansion of high‑quality palliative and hospice care,

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should consider voting for me because my priorities align closely with core principles of human dignity, care for the vulnerable, and strengthening families and communities. I am committed to policies that make life more affordable for working families, expand access to quality education, protect the dignity of every person, and ensure that our state cares for those who are sick, elderly, or struggling. I believe in responsible stewardship of our environment, protecting creation while keeping costs manageable for families, nonprofits, and small businesses.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

Warm greetings, for the past 13 years I have been feeding and providing resources for the less fortunate in our community. The book of Proverbs 19:17 says “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done”. Greatness, is not about how well you perform a skill (singing, dancing, sports etc.). Greatness is about how you served others.

2. Environment:

I truly believe we all want a healthy, clean, and prosperous environment. But unfortunately, the environmentalism movement has been compromised by radicals who are mandating expensive, unrealistic, and unreliable energy generation exclusively from wind and solar. So many churches and spiritual institutions have been negatively impacted, which has hindered them from serving our communities.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I 1000% agree. The basis of my platform is education. I have been shouting from the mountain tops, that if we fix education, we will fix the entire state of Maryland. I support school choice, and our resources should be going towards our children, for they are the next generation. Families should be in charge of their children’s, not a cookie cut system that has failed so many. Whether it be faith-based education, trades, home school, etc. Families should be able to decide what’s best for their children.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

The book of Genesis 9:6 teaches us “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind”.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

My father is rabbi and I’m a boxing champion. I bring both a warrior spirit with Christian values. I grew up on biblical values that has guided my moral compass. We need light in Annapolis; We need someone who will fight for our communities with the fear of God. Our great state is becoming unrecognizable; it’s time we bring real warriors who will stand for what’s right. I don’t represent the party; I represent the mandate of the people.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

Maryland has an obligation to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. The Disabled, and adoption services should be fully funded.

2. Environment:

We all want a healthy and clean environment. Sadly, the environmentalism movement has been hijacked be radicals who are mandating expensive, unreliable energy generation exclusively from wind and solar. Our churches are being seriously hindered from their mission to take care of the sick and most vulnerable among us because of energy bills in the thousands of dollars. Mark 4:39 tells us that Jesus got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the waves to be quiet. God is in control of the weather, not man.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Our children deserve the best education. This is why I support school choice. Our tax dollars are paid by hard working Marylanders, and the money should follow the children. Whether it be a faith based education, trades, or even home school. Families should be in charge and not the politicians.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

The bible tells us that we were created in the image of God. We must stand up and protect the dignity of all human life.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Ever since I was a young child, the Priest would ask us to pray to protect the unborn. The congregation would reply, “Lord hear our Prayer.” I would ask to myself, how many people here mean those words? It seems like election after election, we see Catholics voting in increasing numbers for pro-abortion candidates! Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knew us before we were formed in the womb. Life begins at conception. We need to elect candidates who will honor their obligation to protect the pre-born. As a candidate, I need more than your Prayers, I need your vote!

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I am running for state delegate Baltimore County district 8. I intend to serve with integrity and honesty bringing common sense and transparency to the district as well as Annapolis. I intend to look at reducing waste, passing common sense legislation to benefit Marylander’s and well as look increasing safety, addressing crime Putting residents and business owners first.

2. Environment:

Yes, I believe the state should help individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce carbon footprint

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Yes, I believe in school choice as well as giving individuals in need the resources and assistance to pursue private education as well

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

That should be a natural act of God and should not be invoked by doctors and science.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I am a confirmed Catholic who believes in traditional morals and values and will serve Marylanders with integrity and honesty putting their needs first.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

Government has a responsibility to take care of our most vulnerable citizens, and there are many hardworking people really struggling at the moment. Federal cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would be devastating unless the state fills the gap. Between housing and health care having risen many times beyond the rate of inflation, the sudden large increase in utility costs, and now gas prices going up, people with lower wage jobs, seniors, the disabled, etc. really need help.

2. Environment:

We have a responsibility to younger generations to do what we can to mitigate the effects of climate change, which is already causing more extreme weather events, increasing the price of insurance, and threatening infrastructure in coastal and low lying cities and towns.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I cannot support using public funds for private, often religious, education. There are other ways to fund private schools.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I supported Maryland’s Death with Dignity Act, which did not pass. in part because I believe every health care case is different and the legislature has none of the tools necessary to make health care decisions. I also have had personal experience watching a loved one die a slow and agonizing death that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The unfortunate truth is that we are not always able to control pain.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I share the Catholic Church’s concern for the poor and for planet earth, as well as the desire for peace and compassion for others. I feel the world is reverting back to a crueler time, and the Church is one institution pushing for kindness towards our fellow man and stewardship of the earth.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I agree that funding in Maryland’s budget should ensure that low-income residents have reliable access to basic necessities such as food and healthcare. As a Christian, I am guided by the Church’s social teaching, which calls us to uphold the dignity of every person and prioritize the needs of the vulnerable. I appreciate the vital work of Catholic Charities in Maryland that partner with state programs to deliver compassionate and effective assistance. Also I believe that the state should not provide all of these necessities in perpetuity. There should also be a pathway for self sufficiency.

2. Environment:

Tax credits and grant programs should be redirected to assist residents, businesses, and non-profits in coping with the rising costs of energy. Further, tax credits and grants should also be directed to energy generation companies, and Maryland should increase its investment in nuclear energy to address the supply and demand issues related to energy in the state. Over the years, data centers have increasingly populated the PJM grid, creating a higher demand for energy in Maryland. As a result, the state needs to enhance its energy generation capacity to meet this growing demand.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Maryland should continue to expand funding for the BOOST (Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today) scholarship program so that low-income students can attend the K-12 nonpublic school that best meets their needs. For years the program has been chronically underfunded, often at levels around $8–10 million, meaning it could serve only a fraction of eligible applicants. Governor Moore initially proposed cutting the program and phasing it out for new students. In Annapolis, I will be a strong advocate for fully funding BOOST to meet the clear demand from Maryland families.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

The Maryland General Assembly should absolutely maintain the 1999 law that makes it a felony for an individual to assist in another individual’s suicide. In Annapolis, I am a guaranteed no vote on physician-assisted suicide/medical aid in dying. I believe that only God, our creator, has the authority to determine when our time on earth comes to an end. This bill poses a danger and contradicts the principles of my Christian faith.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland has a profound Catholic heritage dating back to its founding by Cecil Calvert as a haven for those facing religious persecution. The 1649 Act of Toleration advanced religious liberty for Christians at a time of division. As a candidate for delegate in District 9A, I am committed to upholding these foundational values of human dignity, religious freedom, and care for the vulnerable. I will advocate for policies that protect parental rights in education, support faith-based institutions, and provide full funding for programs like BOOST that expand opportunity for low-income families.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

When the federal government cut benefits to the poor recently, I supported supplementing these benefits with state funds as the incumbent delegate.

2. Environment:

I chair the House Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee on Transportation and the Environment. Part of the budget hearings I conduct for environmental agencies review tax credit and grant programs to ensure adequate funding and best use of funds for maximum impact.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

To the extent the budget allows, I support maintaining the existing funding for low-income students.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

As a Catholic, I believe deeply in the Sanctity of Life and the dignity of every human life, especially in suffering. As a public servant, however, I also have a duty to respect the freedom and conscience of those who do not share my beliefs. I strongly support expanding hospice and palliative care so no one faces the end of life without compassion and support. At the same time, I support allowing physician-assisted dying only under strict, carefully regulated conditions for those facing terminal illness and unbearable suffering.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

As a lifelong Catholic, baptized and married at St. Louis Church in Clarksville, and a graduate of the Jesuit college, Loyola Maryland, in a family of six children with activist and devout parents, I was taught that serving others is the measure of a life well lived. My passion is to solve everyday problems for residents of my district all year long, while working during the 90 day legislative session to pass laws that protect the vulnerable, and serve all Marylanders.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

Medical care, cash, food, energy, housing and other assistance, consumes almost 40% of MD’s $67B 2026 budget. Much of this is paid by the federal government, e.g. for SNAP, TANF, disability and more (about 70%). MD Health Dept. is about 32% of the budget. Feds pay $7.5B for Medicaid (about 60%), while Maryland pays $5.5 billion (40%). While there are no public figures, some welfare goes to Maryland’s 300-500k illegal aliens. The state should deport the illegals. They’ve taken jobs & businesses from legal residents, who could otherwise be working, and cram emergency rooms for free healthcare.

2. Environment:

Carbon is the basis of life on earth. Carbon dioxide is plant food. Plants remove CO2 (not a pollutant) from the air to produce sugars (from which all foods come) and the oxygen we breathe. Without CO2, plants die and so would we. Current CO2 level of about 430 ppm is historically low, though it’s increased over the past 150 years. So-called “green” energy is unreliable, environmentally destructive, requires massive subsidies, and gas, coal and nuclear power for backup. Democrats like it because they can channel those subsidies to favored firms. Energy costs have skyrocketed as a result.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Maryland should do a lot more to support independent charter schools, private schools and home schooling. Those who choose to home-school their kids should not be required to pay the taxes necessary to support public schools, and those taxes collected to cover public school costs should be portable, i.e. used to pay for private school tuition for those who want it. The teacher unions have entirely too much control and their abject failures make this essential. Unlikely the Democrats will support this however, as they care much more about Party donations from the unions than they do about kids.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I oppose physician assisted suicide on both moral and practical grounds. While it is understandable that those dying slow, painful death due to some form of cancer or other disease may want to just get it over with, we cannot play God. Furthermore, where does it stop? Does someone suffering depression get to choose a permanent solution to what can be a temporary problem? Will doctors then get to prioritize who lives and who dies, as they effectively now do in Britain’s public heath system–despite laws against it–where certain people receive inadequate care and sometimes die as a result?

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I am surprised there is no question on this survey about abortion. It is an absolute abomination and I stridently oppose it. My Democrat opponent supports abortion up to birth! How could ANY Catholic vote for her, or any Democrat for that matter? Democrats are promoting sick trans ideology and other ruinous, divisive indoctrination to kids in public schools that shame them into hating themselves and their country. No wonder child suicides are at their highest rates in history. Democrats are calculating, greedy and care only about power. I am a vocal opponent of their destructive agenda.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

The state will continue to develop sustainable models that benefit the residents of Maryland, through state and local government initiatives to provide resources to those who are furthest from opportunity.

2. Environment:

I agree that the state should support such initiatives and look toward the work that is being done to bring the necessary resources to meet the needs for this objective.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I believe we must invest in the Blueprint of Maryland to ensure that it maximizes the outcomes to provide a stable educational environment for all students.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should vote for me because I continue to maintain open dialogue with the faith-based community on best practices for the citizens of Maryland. I also continue to work with the faith-based communities to develop strategies and resolutions to serve the greater good, while keeping faith at the forefront of all decisions I make.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

A tax-funded government is tasked with being the responsible guardian of the people it serves. We are also called to protect the most vulnerable members of our society with those funds.

2. Environment:

There are many ways to shift our culture to protect our environment, and I enthusiastically support incentives for those doing the right thing alongside penalties for chronic polluters.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I am grateful that current funds for nonpublic schools exist, but as a public school teacher, I know how critical funding is for the majority of our children in public schools. Until we have tax dollars to fund our current needs, it would be irresponsible for me to advocate for additional funding for private options.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I think a more nuanced- and current- conversation needs to happen to address the complexity of this issue. I selected “disagree” not because I am convinced that physician-assisted suicide/medical aid is suitable, but because more discussion is needed to ensure all stakeholders are represented, including those who are suffering and in pain.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I was raised Catholic, and I continue to align with many of the values at the heart of contemporary Catholicism. I continue to devote my life to serving others, especially those who are navigating the world with more challenges than I do. Finally, I see Pope Leo as a leader for our times. I, too, advocate for marginalized groups, speak up against violence and injustice, and see God’s love in my fellow humans.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I attended private Catholic school in elementary and middle school. My parents struggled to pay for my education and even though my parents would have benefited from tax dollars subsidizing the cost, I would rather nonpublic schools obtain donations for scholarships.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I was raised Catholic and any deeply held religious beliefs should remain within those practicing their religion. My or other’s religious beliefs should not be imposed other who have differing religious beliefs.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should vote for me because I will fight for their religiously held beliefs.

 1. Assistance to the Poor:

I agree that Maryland should ensure low-income residents have access to basic necessities, particularly when they are genuinely unable to provide for themselves. At the same time, taxpayer dollars must be spent responsibly, programs should be regularly evaluated for effectiveness, and assistance should be targeted to those most in need. We should pursue policies that help people achieve greater self-sufficiency while maintaining a responsible safety net for vulnerable Marylanders.

2. Environment:

I support responsible environmental stewardship and efforts to improve energy efficiency, but I believe Maryland should prioritize policies that reduce costs for families and businesses while encouraging innovation and private-sector solutions. Taxpayer-funded grants and tax credits should only be considered when they have clear, measurable benefits, demonstrate a responsible return on investment, and do not create additional financial burdens for Marylanders.   

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I agree that Maryland should expand scholarship opportunities for low-income students and give parents greater choice in determining the educational environment that best meets their child’s needs. Education funding should prioritize students, not systems. At the same time, these programs should maintain strong eligibility requirements, transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes to ensure taxpayer dollars are being used effectively.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I agree that Maryland should maintain its prohibition on physician-assisted suicide. We should respond to suffering with compassion, dignity, hospice care, palliative medicine, and strong support for patients and their families – not by making the intentional ending of a person’s life a medical service. Maryland should ensure that every person, especially those facing terminal illness or disability, has access to compassionate care and meaningful support at the end of life.   

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should vote for me because I believe every person deserves dignity, opportunity, and the freedom to build a better life. I will stand for the protection of human life, strong families, parental choice in education, compassionate support for those in need, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. I will work to lower the cost of living, keep our communities safe, and hold government accountable. I will listen to my constituents, respect people of faith and conscience, and work for the common good – not political agendas.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I’m in public service because I believe government can be a force for good, and I know that because I lived it. Programs like free and reduced school meals, Medicaid, and Pell Grants helped shape my path and made my opportunities possible. That’s why I will always fight to ensure our most vulnerable neighbors have access to basic necessities like food, housing, and healthcare, and that funding for these essential programs is protected and strengthened when needed.

2. Environment:

Representing District 30A, including Annapolis, we are already seeing the growing impacts of climate change – from increased flooding to rising heat island temperatures. That’s why I support initiatives like tax credits and grant programs to help residents, businesses, and nonprofits reduce their carbon footprint. As a member of the Environment and Transportation Committee, I work every day to expand clean energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and invest in solutions that both mitigate climate change and help our communities adapt.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

While nonpublic schools can offer valuable opportunities, my priority is ensuring our public schools are fully funded and set up for success. I am who I am today because of the education I received in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, and every child in Maryland deserves that same strong foundation. I will continue to focus on strengthening public education so all students – regardless of background – have access to high-quality learning and the support they need to succeed.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

This is a deeply personal issue for every Marylander and every legislator. Having lost close family members to terminal illnesses, I have seen firsthand the pain and suffering that can come at the end of battles with terminal illnesses. Those experiences have led me to support carefully crafted death with dignity legislation that provides compassionate, patient-centered options while maintaining strong safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I’m in public service because I believe government can be a force for good – and that means standing up for our most vulnerable neighbors and working to build a more just and compassionate community. I know those are values many Catholics share: caring for the poor, protecting human dignity, and serving others. I also bring a proven record of delivering results, from my time as Chief of Staff to Senator Sarah Elfreth to my work at the Department of Natural Resources, and I will continue putting that experience to work for our community in the legislature.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I agree with support for the needy but I believe the state needs to do a better job ensuring that those dollars are being used properly. Audits and whistleblowers in recent years have exposed waste and corruption in some nonprofits receiving grants. The legislature should enact laws that allow nonprofits who receive public funding to receive greater auditing and oversight of how funds are used to protect against fraud and abuse. Furthermore, we should look at any of these programs as a safety net, not complicit with unnecessary government dependency.

2. Environment:

I believe the grants and tax credits should be better focused on public health and the environment, not exclusive to carbon footprint. As the stewards of the Chesapeake Bay I believe we would be doing better in supporting the environment by reducing runoff and investing in infrastructure upgrades to prevent sewage from annually being dumped into our rivers like we recently saw in the Potomac River and regularly see in the Patapsco River.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

I continue to be one of the strongest advocates for this state funded scholarship funding known as the BOOST program. This program supports children in perpetually failing schools to get a lifeline to attend a participating school with much higher educational outcomes, including many Catholic Schools.

4. Physician Assisted Suicide/Medical Aid in Dying:

I have consistently been one of the strongest opponents to legalizing physician assisted suicide.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Throughout the 20 years in the House of Delegates and if elected to the State Senate I will continue to be a strong ally with the Archdiocese of Baltimore and an allied voice for Catholic voters. As a lifelong practicing Catholic I will continue to lean on Catholic teaching to guide my participation in the Maryland General Assembly.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

I have been an active member of the St. Vincent de Paul ministry at St. Bernadette and Christ the King parishes. As part of our faith development, we visit neighbors who are in need of assistance due to the risk of eviction or of utility cut-off. We pray with them and provide them with resources that can help, as well as financial assistance in most cases. This ministry has enlightened me to the hardships and struggles that low-income residents face. They deserve our compassion and assistance whenever we can provide it. I have also been involved with the Life, Justice & Peace ministry.

2. Environment:

This planet that we call Earth is God’s gift to us. We are called to take care of it and protect it so that its beauty and our human race can flourish for generations. The best way to protect the Earth is by reducing our carbon footprint and promoting ways to do achieve that goal. This can be done through tax credits and grant programs as well as through educating others.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Similar to my response to Assistance to the Poor, low-income students deserve our support and assistance when we can provide it. If a K-12 nonpublic school is best suited for their educational needs, scholarships should be available to assist them.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

I have been a practicing Catholic throughout my life and I attended Catholic school from 2nd-12th grade. I believe in God and in the teachings of the Catholic Church, and I try to follow the Golden Rule at all times to treat others as I would like to be treated. I am committed to providing assistance to the poor whenever possible, to providing the best education possible to K-12 students, and to taking care of this beautiful planet that God blessed us with.

1. Assistance to the Poor:

We have a moral obligation to ensure that all members of our community can live dignified lives with access to basic necessities, including food, housing, clean water, and healthcare.

2. Environment:

I believe that incentives and innovative market-based solutions are a key part of our approach to addressing the unique challenges facing Maryland due to the changing climate.

3. K-12 Educational Options:

Public school funding should go to public schools — any opportunity to provide scholarships to low-income students from public monies takes away from our public school funding. However, this is a separate consideration from IDEA Act compliance in situations where a public school is unable to meet a student’s unique educational needs. As a parent of a neurodiverse student, I know that public school is not suited to every child, and I support every effort to ensure every learner receives a quality education.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

Maryland Catholics should vote for me because I lead with values, I lead with integrity, and I lead with faith. I believe the government should be a force for good for all, and work to improve the lives of our all Marylanders. Jesus’s commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself” is something I think of often as I speak with neighbors from all backgrounds, all faiths, and across the political spectrum.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

My first and foremost belief is that the government should protect the rights of the PEOPLE, and otherwise stay out of day to day life. I both like guns and I believe all people should be treated with the utmost respect and equity regardless of their gender identity, sexuality, or race. The government shouldn’t be legislating peoples morals or bodies, but it should be there to make sure that the rights of ALL Maryland residents are protected.

5. Why Catholics should vote for me:

As a Christian wife, mother, and social worker, I share the core values many Catholics hold dear; faith, family, service, and the dignity of every human life. I believe in protecting the most vulnerable, strengthening families, and empowering parents in their children’s education. I will continue to advocate for policies that uphold religious freedom, promote strong communities, and ensure responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Maryland Catholics can trust that I will lead with integrity, and stand firm in the values that guide our daily lives.
