Why Run for Congress?
Dear Friends,
I'm running for Congress because I believe Washington isn't working for us--too many professional politicians who put partisanship and special interests ahead of the public good. It's time for new leadership and a new direction. I believe in an America that works for everyone, not just the privileged few; an America where we pull together to forge a stronger, safer and more prosperous future for all of us.
As a prosecutor, I make decisions based on facts and law and right and wrong, not partisan politics. As a State's Attorney on the Eastern Shore, I work directly with law enforcement officers and citizens to make our small towns and rural communities safer. I focus on problem-solving, not party affiliation. I will exercise these same leadership qualities in Congress.
I will work to restore fiscal responsibility and to end the war in Iraq so we can focus on building a stronger economy for small businesses and families, affordable health care, immigration reform, energy independence, restoring the Chesapeake Bay and improving educational opportunities.
