The Chesapeake Bay is under tremendous stress due to excessive amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment pollution. This stress is exacerbated by climate change. In District 6 we need to start acting as if tomorrow matters—and take a sustainable approach—by fighting for stormwater restoration projects, fighting to conserve our forests and fighting against unfettered development on the Annapolis Neck Peninsula.  

As a native Annapolitan, growing up sailing the little bathtub boats, Optimist Prams, on the Severn River, I saw first-hand how pollution affects our health, welfare and our economy. Every day during the summer as a child, I would pull my boat out of the water and there would be a yellow scum ring around the waterline of the boat that I would wash off. In law school, I wrote an article about the Chesapeake Bay and climate change, and I quoted this young riverkeeper named Chris Trumbauer in that article. Inspired by Councilman Trumbauer, I have followed his career since and want to build on his environmental legacy.

I am running for District 6 on the Anne Arundel County Council because I am committed to public service and want to improve people’s lives in my hometown. Indeed, I am fed up with how the County’s plan for development (the General Development Plan) is routinely not followed to the detriment of the people and their communities. Serving in a variety of capacities to our community, including working for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and being a member of the Scenic Rivers Land Trust Board, I have the depth and breadth of experience to be an environmental advocate for the people. As an environmental leader, I stand ready to guide the entire community into a prosperous future, work through any differences and to bring our community together.
