The American Dream feels out of reach in Howard and Montgomery Counties due to overregulation, zoning barriers, and policies limiting supply. Under County Executive Calvin Ball, rents have risen 34%, with Howard's median home prices now exceeding $500k, far above the state average amid a documented shortage of thousands of units. Rent stabilization in Montgomery County triggered a collapse in multifamily permitting. While we need more housing, many residents, including young families, want to preserve suburban character with detached single-family options. I'll partner with local leaders to: 1. Cap/reduce development fees 2. Streamline permitting for SFH 3. Reform adequate public facility rules to enable responsible growth In Annapolis, I'll deliver pragmatic solutions that lower costs and increase attainable housing without sacrificing what makes our communities great.

The Truth: Annapolis leaders are misleading voters in Maryland! The special session has NOTHING to do with what is happening in mid-decade redistricting in Texas. Gerrymandering, the erosion of equal representation, and the consolidation of Democratic power are the status quo in Annapolis. 2000 Reapportionment Cycle: • MD 02: Redistricted for Ruppersberger. • MD 08: Redistricted for Chris Van Hollen. 2010 Reapportionment Cycle: • MD 06: Redistricted for John Delaney. 2020 Reapportionment Cycle: • MD 01: Redistricting attempt for Heather Mizeur was unsuccessful. • LD 09: Redistricted to benefit Katie Fry Hester, Chao Wu, and Natalie Ziegler. Our legislative leaders and the Maryland Democrats cannot deceive us into believing that gerrymandering is a moral necessity. They cannot ignore the fact that this is merely the status quo. We will raise our voices, testify against gerrymandering during the special session, and challenge it at the ballot box if it advances out of the legislature. We aim to win in November and restore free and fair elections in Maryland!
