I was first elected in 2014 and have dedicated my time in the state legislature to ensuring economic growth and prosperity for all Marylanders.
Marc knows that pets and animals are an important part of our lives and, just like us, deserve to always be treated with dignity. That is why throughout his time in the legislature, he has made sure that people are held accountable for animal abuse and neglect and that our animals always get the protections they deserve.
The foundation of our country is equality and liberty. At times, some seem to forget that we should treat each person with the same respect and dignity with which we want to be treated. Maryland continues to be a national leader in protecting a woman's right to choose, supporting Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender ("LGBT") rights and promoting progressive values.
Marc believes that protecting our environment and finding sustainable sources of energy are among the most important issues facing Marylanders in the coming years.
