The Issue
Maryland’s pollinators are disappearing at an alarming rate. Habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and environmental degradation threaten not only honeybees, but our entire food system and local ecosystems. This is not an abstract environmental issue. It impacts agriculture, public health, and long term economic stability.
How a State Delegate Can Help
Local efforts alone cannot address statewide environmental decline. The State of Maryland plays a central role in land use policy, agricultural standards, environmental regulation, and conservation funding. Effective solutions require state level leadership that respects science, supports responsible farmers, and invests in sustainable practices.
My Commitment
As a beekeeper and lifelong steward of our local environment, I understand firsthand how fragile these systems have become. I will advocate for policies that protect pollinators, strengthen conservation programs, and promote responsible environmental management across Maryland.
What Success Looks Like
- Stronger state protections for pollinator habitats
- Increased investment in conservation and restoration programs
- Support for farmers and landowners adopting sustainable practices
- Long term environmental resilience that benefits both urban and rural communities
This is about preserving what sustains us while ensuring Maryland remains productive, healthy, and economically strong.
