Candidate for County Commissioner

My Vision for Frederick County

The entire Frederick Community will plan the Future of Frederick County … Together! Every group will have equal representation and together will design Frederick for the next 100years. The plan will be stringent enough to be fair to all involved … yet open … encouraging new ideas.

Schools will be built in a timely manner, not “Backwards”, after we need them. We will depend less on State Mandates and more on Common Sense to get ahead of the curve on School Construction.

Road Construction will keep pace with development. Public Transportation will improve and become a realistic option.

Brunswick, Thurmont, Walkersville, etc., are all a part of Frederick County. We must work together to plan long term for our combined goals. Adequate Public Facilities: Schools, Water, Sewer, Roads, Parks, and Libraries must be planned jointly for the good of all of Frederick County.

Teachers, First Responders, and our workforce will have an opportunity to own a Home in Frederick County and be a part of our community. We will use our Moderately Priced Dwelling unit Program to attract and keep top talent in Frederick County.

Seniors on a fixed income will be able to live here and afford their taxes. Modifying their existing home so they can “age in Place” will become easier.

Many forget that Frederick City is in Frederick County. I will make it a priority to see that Frederick City becomes the “place to be” for arts and entertainment. A vibrant downtown is the key for attracting new businesses to Frederick County and making Frederick County become the tourism Hot Spot in Maryland.

Outside … Frederick County will be the place to be “Outside” in Maryland. We have the Monocacy River, Potomac River, 17,000 Acres of Contiguous parkland, Numerous Roads for carefree biking thru acres upon acres of rolling hills and farmland, Dirt roads, Covered Bridges, and all the Mountain Biking and hiking trails you could ever need. Protecting our Natural Environment thru education, involvement, and access will become a priority.

Jobs: We will foster a relationship with the business community to keep the good jobs that we have from leaving! Bringing new, high paying jobs to Frederick County will be a priority.
