Infrastructure and Jobs

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching our county thrive and prosper, even during uncertain economic times and record inflation. I have served on the Economic Development Commission and Maryland Rural Development Cooperative during my time on the council. Most of the county now has access to high-speed Internet, this is so important for the jobs of the future. More and more people are able to work from home, cutting emissions on vehicles for everyday travel. Amazon is now part of our community, offering solid jobs and attracting more people to our area, which in turn helps balance the budget without raising taxes on our existing citizens.

The unemployment rate in Cecil County has dropped from 5.7% in 2020 to 3.3% last year. This is a direct result of the policies and legislation that I have helped pass and institute. We have become a premier place for companies to setup operations, without taking away from the panoramic beauty of our county. Through carefully planned out expansion we can have the best of both worlds. I am very proud that hardworking individuals can come to Cecil County and get a good job and raise their families in a safe community.
