Trusted. Experienced. Leadership. Your voice in the Upcounty.

Our leaders should have a deep understanding of who we are and a strong vision of where we are going. As your County Councilmember for District 2, I have the experience, expertise, comprehensive knowledge, and understanding of the complex issues facing us. I have a strong reputation for supporting the residents in my District and throughout Montgomery County.

I have served our community for nearly 30 years as an advocate for Upcounty residents, on issues both large and small and I look forward to continue serving you in my second term as County Councilmember.

What I Stand For

  • Create jobs and expand Montgomery County’s tax base by attracting new companies and helping existing businesses grow.
  • Increase affordable housing while maintaining the unique qualities of our neighborhoods and reduce barriers for first-time home buyers.
  • Reduce traffic and build our infrastructure with more efficient travel options and smart strategic planning, while protecting the environment.
  • Expand access to early education to reduce the achievement gap that is leaving too many children unprepared for grade school and beyond.
  • Protect our Agricultural Reserve and all our rural areas.
  • Ensure that ALL residents have equitable access to the great resources in our community, employment opportunities, housing, and education.
