About this candidate

From friendsofglengeelhaar.org/:I’m proud to call Parkville my home, nestled in Baltimore County’s Legislative District 8—a community built on generations of family traditions, where neighbors once felt safe walking their dogs and children thrived in Blue Ribbon schools. ‍But today, things have changed. Radical activist legislators have allowed crime to spiral out of control, introduced subsidized housing that’s destabilizing our neighborhoods, and left many of our schools struggling to meet basic standards. ‍It doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can take back our community and restore it to the safe, thriving place we all cherish. With your support, we can elect leaders who truly represent We The People and bring common sense back to Annapolis.
