A Pastor A Community Leader A Fighter for District 1A

Rooted in Faith & Family

Ed is a husband, family man, and pastor who understands what matters to Western Maryland families. He's lived it, led it, and fought for it.

Proven Community Leadership

For years, Ed has served Garrett and Allegany Counties — not from a government office, but from the ground up. He knows our neighbors, our challenges, and our potential.

Unapologetically Conservative

Ed won't compromise on our values. He'll stand up to Annapolis overreach and fight for the freedoms and opportunities we deserve.

On the Issues

Grow Our Economy

Western Maryland works. But Annapolis makes it harder. Ed will cut the red tape strangling our small businesses and fight for policies that let our local economy thrive. We need jobs that stay here — not regulations that drive them away.

What Ed Will Do
  • Support small businesses with lower taxes and fewer mandates
  • Protect our local industries from unfair state interference
  • Champion workforce development that prepares our neighbors for good careers

Make Energy More Affordable

Heating our homes shouldn't break the bank. Annapolis keeps pushing expensive energy policies that ignore how they hit rural families. Ed will fight for affordable, reliable energy and push back against mandates that only work for city politicians.

What Ed Will Do
  • Oppose energy regulations that spike costs for Western Maryland
  • Defend access to affordable, dependable power
  • Stand against “green” mandates that hurt working families

Prioritize Public Safety

Safe neighborhoods aren't optional. Ed believes in backing our law enforcement and holding criminals accountable. Soft-on-crime policies from Annapolis endanger our families. Ed won't stand for it.

What Ed Will Do
  • Support our police and first responders
  • Push for tougher penalties on repeat offenders
  • Reject policies that prioritize criminals over victims

Protect Our Constitutional Freedoms

Our rights aren't up for negotiation. Ed will defend the Second Amendment, protect religious liberty, and stand against government overreach. Annapolis has no business telling Western Maryland how to live.

What Ed Will Do
  • Defend the Second Amendment without compromise
  • Protect parental rights and school choice
  • Fight for religious freedom and free speech

Stop Government Overreach

Annapolis doesn't know what's best for us. We do. Ed will challenge mandates, regulations, and tax hikes that treats District 1A like a revenue source instead of a community worth representing.

What Ed Will Do
  • Vote against budgets that grow government at our expense
  • Demand accountability for wasteful spending
  • Restore balance between state power and local control
