Welcome
I am grateful to and appreciative of the residents of Montgomery County who have provided me with the opportunity to serve them in our state legislature. It is a responsibility which I have not taken lightly. I have worked tirelessly to best represent the people of Maryland and to develop solutions to troubling problems.
Working collaboratively with my colleagues in Annapolis, we have passed new legislation which has improved the lives of our neighbors. But, there is still work to be done. I look forward to working with my friends in the legislature, from around the state, to continue our efforts to protect our neighbors, friends and family members from drunk drivers, violent criminals and sex offenders.
Keeping and bringing new, good paying jobs to our state will be an important measure to help lift Maryland out of this deep recession and reduce the ranks of our unemployed. Maryland can and should be a leader in green industry and green jobs. Whether it’s renewable energy, green chemistry, environmental science or green certified urban planners and construction, opportunities abound for creating new jobs.
Seventy percent of the wealth in this nation is in the hands of those who are 55 years of age and older. This statistic has not been lost on the con artists and scammers, who target our seniors. Building on my legislative successes to protect our seniors and improve their quality of life will be paramount in my future legislative initiatives.
Additionally, I will work to ensure that our state does its best to protect the most vulnerable in our community. Our residents of limited means, our neighbors who suffer with mental illness and our citizens with developmental disabilities cannot be forgotten nor overlooked during these financially troubling times. These are the people who very much need the help and support of our government.
You elected me in 2006 to enact change in state government. Working together with you, that’s exactly what I have done. With your help, I have taken on the special interests and the power brokers in Annapolis and won. I fought the liquor lobby to reduce teen and adult drunk driving. I tackled the big banks and passed landmark legislation to protect our residents from future mortgage fraud and abuse. The giant utility companies were no match for our efforts to pass new consumer protection laws to stop routine fraudulent billing practices.
With your ongoing support, I will continue to bring change to better our community, and together, we will succeed in ensuring that our government is open, transparent and effective.
