     | WHY I'M RUNNING Like many of us in the State of Maryland and throughout the United States I feel that our elected officials have forgotten that we sent them to DC to work together to fix our problems. With the deficit exploding and our public debt running into TRILLIONS of dollars, with millions of our fellow citizens unemployed, with the prospect of schools, hospitals and many local public services forced to close or go bankrupt I believe our current officials spend too much time defending their position rather than looking for solutions. However, unlike my primary opponents I am a MODERATE Republican who believes the American people deserve someone who puts them ahead of the party system. We need action to fix our problems and we can not wait. To get Maryland and the country moving again will take political leadership and cooperation. We will not end the partisan bickering if hard-line conservatives continue to argue that the only way forward is to cut out government from our lives, repeal all healthcare legislation and disagree with Democrats on every issue as a matter of principle. We need good government not just smaller government. We need transparent and accountable government. We need political leaders who will work together to solve our problems. I am running as a moderate Republican to work with both parties to find the solutions we desperately need. I may not be popular with some of the political hacks in DC but they will not be the ones who elect me as their voice in the Senate. My opponent in the General Election has served our country for many years for which she deserves respect. But during her 33 years in Washington DC she has overwhelmingly voted with her party line not for the people of Maryland. Our current debt, our unemployment and our broken government occurred on her watch. As our representative I hold her accountable. I believe the people of Maryland deserve a new voice in the U.S. Senate. I will listen to you and I will work hard every day to represent you. Together we must build a better and prosperous future worthy of our children and grandchildren. |
