Where I stand

I’m running for Congress to take on systems that put corporate profit ahead of Baltimore families—and to deliver real accountability, affordability, and opportunity in every neighborhood. The challenges we face, from skyrocketing utility bills and speculative housing practices to an unjust healthcare system and decades of disinvestment in transit and infrastructure, are not separate problems. They are the result of power concentrated at the top while communities are left to pay the price. My work has always been about breaking that cycle: holding monopolies and polluters accountable, protecting renters and homeowners, guaranteeing healthcare as a right, building a modern transit network, and making sure federal dollars are spent with urgency and integrity. My goal is simple—to build a Baltimore where energy is affordable, housing is stable, healthcare is universal, neighborhoods are safe, and no community is treated as expendable.
