Progress

Prince George’s and Charles Counties are entering a new era of opportunity.

As a business owner, I understand that small businesses are the backbone of our communities. When entrepreneurs thrive, neighborhoods thrive. Economic development must be intentional, inclusive, and built to last.

Real progress starts with investing in our schools.

Strong schools drive strong communities. From modern facilities to student to teacher ratios and equitable funding, our education system must prepare the next generation to succeed and compete.

Economic growth and educational investment must move together. One does not succeed without the other.

Legislative Focus: Driving Economic Growth and Strengthening Education Through Smart Investment

• Reviewing and reducing unnecessary state level business compliance fees to make it easier for small businesses to start and grow

• Simplifying licensing and renewal processes so entrepreneurs can focus on running their businesses, not navigating red tape

• Expanding workforce development and career pathway programs that connect education directly to job opportunities

• Advocating for equitable school funding formulas that ensure every student has access to quality education regardless of zip code

• Increasing investment in school infrastructure, classroom resources, and student support systems
