Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I worked on Wall Street and watched the banks get bailed out while the people got sold out. I worked in the government fighting corruption in Big Tech and cryptocurrency until Donald Trump fired me for standing up to DOGE. I know how these systems work. I know who benefits the most from keeping them broken. And I know what it takes to change them.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Ban AI Data Centers. We are being asked to subsidize the infrastructure of multi-trillion-dollar tech companies while watching their bills go up and their land get carved up. When the AI bubble bursts (and the financial signs are already there), working people will be left holding the bag, as we always are. I've spent over a decade taking on Big Tech and the financial sector. I know exactly how this story ends if we don't act.
Abolish ICE. ICE is the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in the country. Under this administration, it operates as the President's personal police force—terrorizing neighborhoods, separating families, and violating constitutional rights without accountability. In MD-06, families are afraid to go to routine doctor's appointments. Parents are afraid to send their kids to school. Meanwhile, the people elected to represent us have been advancing budget bills that fund this violence and waving through Trump's nominees who carry it out. ICE cannot be reformed. It needs to be abolished.
Lower the cost of housing. A roof over your head shouldn't cost half your paycheck. From Frostburg to Frederick, families are being priced out of neighborhoods they call home, while corporate landlords and predatory lenders. I'll push for strong federal tenant protections: a cap on rent hikes, significant penalties for landlord neglect, and an end to predatory lending. I'll work to dramatically expand the federal housing supply through direct public investment, not tax credits that line developers' pockets while doing nothing for tenants.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I love public transportation. People in MD-06 spend too much time stuck in traffic and too much money on cars. We need real public transit that's fast, frequent, and free.
Maryland has already shown what's possible: free bus service in places like Montgomery County boosted ridership and cut emissions without breaking the bank. I'll push for federal funding to expand free and frequent public transit across the district, restore long-distance Amtrak service to western Maryland, and build out infrastructure for the people who can't or don't want to drive everywhere—including safe bike lanes, sidewalks, and accessible routes for seniors and people with disabilities.
