I would like to thank the 83 percent of Republican voters who supported my renomination to the Baltimore County Council from the Fifth District. Thank you to my family, and to the many campaign workers who spent long hours on my behalf.

Our primary election vote was not just an affirmation of the work we have done, but a decisive rejection of eight years of smears and attacks from the Baltimore County Campaign for Liberty. It is time for this organization to reevaluate its leadership.

We advance to the general election with support from Democrats, Republicans, and voters of all political backgrounds who believe in bipartisan, independent leadership for Baltimore County.
