Issues

The Maryland Democratic Party has a strong foundation — now let's build on it for the digital age. I've seen firsthand how effective digital organizing can be, from managing communications for the Maryland High School Democrats and reaching over twenty thousand viewers, to leading operations for a 150-person youth policy organization. I'll work to enhance our online presence with better social media outreach, accessible meeting information, and transparent communication tools that help voters see the great work we're already doing. By meeting people where they are and making it easier to get involved, we can expand our base, welcome new members, and show Maryland that the Democratic Party is responsive, modern, and ready to grow.

Democracy only works when people understand how to use it. From drafting testimony on climate legislation that passed the State Senate to organizing virtual lobbying nights with over 1,000 participants, I've seen how civic education transforms passive observers into active participants. Working in Councilman Mark Parker's office taught me how local government actually functions, while supporting campaigns for leaders like Mayor Brandon Scott and Comptroller Brooke Lierman showed me how we win. I'll champion civic education initiatives that teach Marylanders, especially young people, why their participation matters and how to make their voices heard. By partnering with schools, community organizations, and local groups to demystify the political process, we can build a more

Through co-founding Beyond Partisan, I've worked on election reform across 15 states and partnered with organizations like Unite America and the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab. I've seen how small changes to our electoral systems can make democracy more accessible and representative. I'll bring this experience to support transparency initiatives, champion small-dollar fundraising tools that help Democratic candidates compete, and advocate for reforms that make it easier for everyday Marylanders to participate in the political process. When we modernize how campaigns are funded and how elections are run, we build a stronger Democratic Party and a healthier democracy.

Young voters are ready to step up, and the Democratic Party should be ready to welcome them. I've spent years building pathways for youth political participation , co-founding Beyond Partisan to work on election reform across 15 states, organizing a conference with participants from 25 countries, and leading a fellowship of over 80 young leaders from across the U.S. and around the world. I'll bring this experience to actively recruit young people through schools, universities, and youth organizations, making Central Committee meetings more accessible and engaging for new participants. By creating real opportunities for youth leadership, we'll boost turnout among first-time voters, strengthen our coalition, and build a generation of Democrats who are energized, informed, and ready to lead.
