Mother. Caregiver. Advocate. Public Servant. Attorney. Neighbor.

For more than a decade, New Carrollton has been my home. It’s where my wife, Laura, and I are raising our family, where we’ve built relationships with my neighbors, and where I decided that caring about my community wasn’t enough — I needed to get involved and do something about it.

But my commitment to advocacy started long before I ever thought about running for office.
