I spent 34 years with the Navy to include serving at the Naval War Collegeand a tour as Commanding Officer. I spent 25 years with the Defense Intelligence Agencybefore retiring from government service. 2) ECONOMIC INEQUITIES: One of the root causes is poor education. The state shouldencourage quality education for all even if it means school choice over failing publicschools. 3) PUBLIC SAFETY: I am more worried over crimes committed by criminals then by police.We need to support our law enforcement officers both in the police force and on the bench.4) EDUCATION: The COVID pandemic ratified the need to avoid closing schools, on-linelearning and wearing masks.5) HEALTH: The Heroin and Opioid Drug Crisis continues to challenge our communities.Drugs seeping into our country from our porous southern border are not helping.6) NATURAL RESOURCES: We need to lower the cost of energy even if it means allowingfracking and increasing our supply of clean fossil fuel.7) LOCAL PROJECTS: The issue is combating noise pollution from aircraft operating outof BWI Airport. This pollution originated from policies by the Federal AviationAdministration that impact aircraft arrivals and departures. We need to return to vectoringflight paths over greater areas for both arrivals and departures while raising the flightpath elevation threshold to as high as safely feasible.
