Where Greg Stands
Enhancing Education Opportunities
As a former Head Start teacher, Greg knows first hand that education is the cornerstone of a thriving society. That begins with investing in early education, making universal pre-K a reality for children. Additionally, Greg is focused on addressing educational inequities for Montgomery County Public Schools students by increasing funds for schools and better teacher support. Greg also supports individuals pursuing non-traditional careers as an alternative to attending four-year-college institutions. That's why Greg will work to advance career and technical education programs. Additionally, Greg will fight for opportunities that prepare students from early childhood to higher education for the 21st century workforce in Annapolis.
Jobs & Economy
Hard working families and individuals are the drivers of our economy, which is why Greg strongly believes economic prosperity should be within reach for every Marylander. Greg is devoted to protecting workers’ rights, creating pathways to well-paying jobs, and ensuring that workers are fairly compensated. In Annapolis, Greg will focus on supporting legislation that is centered around addressing the high rising costs experienced by families - especially low-income families living in District 39 and throughout the state of Maryland.
Affordable Housing
Housing is a fundamental right, and Greg is dedicated to addressing the affordable housing crisis in Montgomery County, especially for vulnerable populations that includes seniors. Greg has a record of working with seniors on fixed incomes who became homeless due to high rent costs. Leveraging existing partnerships throughout Montgomery County, Greg will collaborate with stakeholders to develop innovative solutions that make housing more affordable through incentivizing the construction of affordable housing units for those in need.
Public Safety and Victims’ Rights
Greg is dedicated to evaluating and strengthening current public safety measures to reduce the rise in gun violence in District 39 and adequately meet the needs of victims of crime. Maryland needs effective public safety initiatives that swifty respond to crime incidents. Greg will continue his commitment to providing resources to victims of violent crime. He will advocate for funds to expand robust programs that provide a combination of legal assistance, counseling, well-being, and mental services to help survivors and their families rebuild their lives.
