Economic Development
Building an Economy That Works for Everyone
The Issue
We need good jobs and a thriving local economy—but growth should benefit our residents, not just big corporations.
What I’ve Done So Far
- Led the largest prevailing wage expansion in Maryland history, ensuring workers on public projects earn family-supporting wages
- Fought to expand county contracts for local small businesses
What I Will Do
- Double down on our strengths as the nation’s 3rd largest biotech hub
- Build a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment facility to create jobs and attract visitors
- Ensure local hiring on county projects so our tax dollars create jobs for our neighbors
