What brought Mark to campaign for Maryland's District 41 Delegate?  Through his family, friends, colleagues, and Marylanders he has met in his work, he was led to step beyond a life and a job he loves, and make a commitment to a larger cause: Restoring the hopes and confidence of people and businesses in District 41 in their representative who will actually represent them.  To make possible real opportunities to achieve their potential, to get a job, buy a home, to live the American Dream, and assist them along the way with programs and services that will empower them to pursue Life, Liberty, and Happiness.

These are values that are dear to Mark and which is why he runs as a Moderate Republican.  Mark believes that Government has a role of walking along side of us, encouraging, empowering, and supporting us in times of need.  Mark does not believe it is the role of government to make us dependable on it, to make us servants to the government, to supervise us in our pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness which are unalienable rights given to us by the Constitution of the United States.

It is a privilege and honor to live in this great country that provides the freedoms to do so as her citizens; for we are each a mirror of this citizenship which is based on the status that “all men are created equal.”   It is crucial to understand that this responsibility is inherent in the citizenship privileged for each person in their right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness; a responsibility that strives to protect and preserve this citizenship through respecting each individual as equal and unique in membership of the community called United States.

Mark hopes that you will join him in celebrating these precious freedoms to restore hope and confidence in our government to serve us and allow us to reach for the American Dream.
