Sam Newhouse for Frederick County Council
Every child in Frederick County deserves a world-class education. That means competitive salaries that attract and retain the best teachers, and classrooms capped at 21 students so every kid gets the attention they need to thrive.
Too many of our neighbors—the ALICE families who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed—are one emergency away from crisis. We need real investment in food security, affordable housing, and accessible healthcare for every resident.
Frederick County's natural beauty isn't just scenery—it's our future. We must lead with green infrastructure, protect our forests, and ensure that environmental burdens don't fall disproportionately on underserved communities.
Smart growth means growing without losing who we are. We'll preserve farmland, encourage innovation and local business, and build an economy that works for everyone—not just developers and corporations.
You shouldn't need a car to live, work, and thrive in Frederick County. A county-wide transit plan will connect our communities, reduce congestion, cut emissions, and open up opportunity for all residents.
