Priority Issues:
Securing right to life from conception to natural death through statutory and state constitutional means. Securing full state acknowledgement of Second Amendment through statutory gun deregulation and state constitutional means. Provide for the citizens of the sovereign State of Maryland protection and relief from over-reaching and unConstitutional laws and regulations of the federal government under the protection of the Tenth Amendment. Provide an environment for individual citizens and businesses in Maryland, veiled in liberty, conducive to the pursuit of self-determination and a free market economy by limiting taxation and restricting undue regulation.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I believe I can bring to the Maryland legislature a perspective not often seen - the honesty and integrity of a working man. One of our nation's founders, Samuel Adams, wrote, "If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." As one of those Patriots, I humbly, yet boldly offer myself as a public servant-leader in Annapolis.
