When I was growing up, I wanted to be the first person in my family to graduate from college, but at almost 20 years old, I dropped out of school, and my husband and I welcomed our first child, Brandon. — And a few years later we were blessed with another son, Bradley.

I spent the next 15 years raising my two boys — waiting tables — tending bar, — and doing anything I could to provide for my family. And I was able to earn my college degree 20 years later.

I know the challenges facing every Maryland parent. And I know that if you don’t feel like your family is safe, nothing else matters.

With Governor Hogan, we backed the police. When other states were defunding the police, we invested an additional $500 million to support law enforcement and crime victims across Maryland.

But we have a long way to go. The far-left Democrats defunded the police in Baltimore. And they elected a prosecutor who won’t enforce the law. It’s resulted in record crime, a wave of murders, and a city in crisis.

When I am governor, I will make Maryland safe. Because without safety, nothing matters. My policy is simple: support law enforcement and hold criminals accountable. We need to treat criminals like criminals and police like heroes If we follow that policy, we can keep Maryland safe.
