Thanks to the people of Baltimore and Harford Counties for giving me the opportunity to serve for ten more years. I promise to continue to work hard to get it right and to do justice.

Early voting begins in Maryland on Thursday, October 24. For those in Baltimore and Harford Counties, please vote "yes" to retain me as a Judge on the Appellate Court of Maryland for ten more years. It has been an honor to serve and I would like very much to continue! Thank you!
